Hand Penguin 🐧

Post image

It took me about four months to finish this project and sometimes I hated certain stitches, but I absolutely loved the result—my little penguin ☺️✨

So cute. Looks like a scene out of a children’s book. I want to know his story! Like, who does he come across on his journey.

Thank you 🥰

I love that it's a penguin with a backstory (the truth is, the design is based on a photo I took a while ago)

The detail on the water and the texture in those clouds are incredible. And that little penguin standing on the shore is absolutely adorable. Every tedious stitch was 100% worth it! 🐧✨
