Brenda Stofft designed this camel that is festively bedecked.
We stitched the camel's fur in the long/short split stitch using 3 different shades of Medici yarn. The ground was done in the interlocking gobelin in a solid tone of Medici. The sky was basketweave in a navy fiber. The stars were stitched using white gold rush 18.
The blanket and neck collar were stitched in perle cotton with a multitude of various metallics to emphasize the impression of gems and precious metals.
The overall finishing was done as a standing stuff with cording made of a combination of gold and silver metallic. The camel could have also been finished as a hanging ornament. Finished it stands about 8" tall.
I like the camel's fur!
