The fur collar


I stitched the collar in Turkey work using Burmilana.  I have started trimming the collar but will finish it when I take the canvas off the bars.  It is easier to control the shape that way for me.

Starting the Jacket


I have started the jacket.  I switched colors as I felt this is a gentleman snowman and pink is more feminine.  I am using 4 strands of three shades of Mandarin Floss in a modified Scotch Checker pattern to fill the squares.

A Face and Hat


In between standing by the mailbox waiting for the Splendor I stitched his hat with Trebizond in a closed darning pattern and added those snowflakes.  Then I stitched his face in Medeival Mosaic using Neon Rays+.  I beaded his eyes and mouth using size 11 beads.  I padded and overstitched his nose with Threadworx overdyed Kreinik!

And then....




I got this far and ran out of Splendor!  So I did little cross stitches with Silk Lame Braid Petite for the snowflakes.

Bubbles


I did the bubbles with Kreinik #8 031L in Rhodes stitches.....Thanks Carole for that idea and a side note is that this thread color is no longer available!  I had a couple of spools and it matched the canvas  and the shine is a great wine color.  I  have also started the background using a single strand of the same thread in Diagonal Weave.
