O'jishi has a nose now. The stitch (still done in two plies of Gloriana's Lacquered Gold), is from Brenda Hart's Favorite Stitches, page 34's bottom stitch. It doesn't have a name. The dimples you see on the nose are from the underlying painted canvas and are bumps that are scattered all over his face. Those will be covered later.
I plan to use the same stitch in the circle area in the center of his forehead. I'm working the circle areas on his face first. Then I will have to go back and decide what stitch to use in the oval areas (below his nose) or the crescent areas (to the left and right of each eye). It's progress, even if it is slow. And remember, this is the lower layer of his face. Bumps and other things will go on top of these stitches.
