I was down for the count with a headache for the last few days and, obviously, didn’t list my newest lamb as soon as I wanted. But here she is freshly listed.
Designing with the fuchsia was really challenging. Like I mentioned in the last post, I just LOVE the color. But finding other colors and a print to go with it was harder than I thought it would be. The stripes in the body were the worst! I pulled out a bunch of attempts. I’m not sure if you can see it in the photo, but the green is actually 2 different colors. That was the only way I could get the colors to harmonize with the yarn I had available.
Embroidering the expression was sort of difficult too, come to think of it. I found the right green in my floss stash and stitched the nose and mouth. But when I looked at the lines of the mouth from a distance they were hard to see. So I took a deep, steadying breath and used a permanent marker in the color I needed to darken the mouth. Man, am I glad it didn’t bleed onto the white yarn!
She’s gorgeous! You’re really an inspiration
Oh she’s so pretty!
She is absolutely amazing. I love to read about your challenges and how you hold on till you solve them
Kind regards

Beautiful fuchsia lamb! I love the colors and details! I wonder when I will be able to get one of your lovely creations, they are sold immediately!
I have Discovered if you use Copic pens ??? you can remove the color on most fabrics with an alcohol swab
She is Lovely and I am impressed with the steady hand ♥♥
Beth,
The little lamb is adorable, but my favorites are the different little dolls you create.
Wow, the details are amazing. The eyelids really got me. I’ve tried my hand at amigurumi before, and seeing this makes me want to try again!
