Here is a completed picture of my own stocking from a vintage Melissa Shirley canvas. This is one of the first times I trusted my own instincts and did my own stitches. I got some vintage thread off of ebay for the tigers...it's a really rough old wool with old fashioned tiger colors.
I think the alligators are my favorite. The teeth are beaded. I like the panda's too!
I beaded each heart/triangle decoration...that took forever! So many beads!!!
Another view of the top of the ark...I think the two matching birds are cute!
I used floche for the yellow background.
I started this in August of 2013 and finished it right around Christmas but it was too late for 2013 Christmas so this is the first year I will display it.
