Thank you everyone. When I posted the picture I thought how real he looked too. I made him with beads. He was supposed to be kind of long but I couldn't get the beading to look right so I undid it. I started at the bottom part, made a circle with a chalk pen, put one bead in the center and then started circling beads around it until I got the size I wanted. For the front or chest part is three rows of three beads. The rest is black floss. This was so fun to make. I got the design out of Carole Samples book: "Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stitches.
