The Wizard Stands On His Own

The Wizard is DONE! I am happy to say that I've finished two rows of beads around the base (the bottom is the larger purple beads used on the side edge, the top row smaller clear beads similar to the Sundance cryatal beads also used on the sides).
You can see the back of the stand-up figure in this photo as well as the beaded base and edges (sort of). It is in a medium blue moire cotton.
I'd like to thank Joan Thomasson for permission to show off this piece in such detail here. I had a blast stitching this piece, but that's nothing new with her Stitchin Stuff Designs--they are all wonderful!
If you are curious about the original piece, you can see it on Joan's website. Click on Catalog in the left hand column and then click on Holiday Spirits. My wizard is the Halloween spirit Santa instead of the Valentine one.
