Standing nutcracker, 5

My nutcracker is now called Gunther.  He is originally from the Black Forest area of Germany.  He doesn't have a distinctive accent though my make-believe doesn't run to having long conversations with inanimate objects.  

I've made good progress--Gunther now has a face.  His flesh tones are stitched in the mosaic.  His eyebrows are the slanted gobelin, with the right one slanting to the right and the left one slanting to the left.  I tried to show a close-up photograph of his eyebrows but the stitch details didn't show up through the fuzziness of the black angora I used for the stitching. 

His eyes, cheeks and nose are done in the basketweave.  I'm a little concerned with how dark the tip of his nose is (makes him look like a tippler), but there isn't another suitable shade in silk 'n ivory.  I hope it grows on me.  His mouth area is also stitched in tent, this time the continental.  His teeth are slanted gobelin. 

If you look closely, you can see that I have stitched the outside area on the left to the top of his shoulder and on the right almost to his epaulet.  I try to stitch a strand on either side each time I pick this up to stitch.  That way, I hope to have it all done by the time I have finished his boots.
