Santa Snowball - 5/23/24

May 23, 2024--Finished the stitching on my 18th Santa designed by Janet Zickler Casey in 2005.  This one, called Snowball Santa, was stitched by the designer with eyes that gave him a very mischievous look (see the project photo below).  However, I felt they looked too angry, so I redesigned the eye shape and eyebrows for a kinder, more neutral expression.  I like it.

PS:  The thread for the nose doesn't look very well laid, but in person, it looks just fine.  The window light shows every shadow of the thread strands.
