RE: My first attempt at a Christmas leprechaun // Mi primer intento de duende navideño

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago

I had to smile, I just wrote to @tali72 that I thought she had some leprechauns living in her house who made her handmade dress longer overnight :-D If they look like yours, she is blessed, as I find them very cute! I think your decision to embroider the eyes around the pearl is a good one, as they eyes are bigger now, also the rouge on the cheeks is lovely. I would not paint the noise or use red yarn for it, as then they would look drunken in my view :-D
If you want more color I could imagine golden embroidery on the hat or on the basket. Or you could add a tree or parcels for some of them (but I imagine this to be much more work). Another idea would be to give them divers skin colors in various shades of black, brown and beige.
But to be honest I am sure everyone who receives such a tiny Leprechaun from you will be very happy. I like them as they are <3

Thanks @neumannsalva , gold embroidery on the bag or hat!!! that's a great idea and not so laborious and gives it that extra detail it needs. hahahaha @tali72 must then have a group of helpers who in the evenings knit for her, hahahaha how funny, I'm imagining the little elves in the workshop knitting the dress!!!!
