Having worked what I considered to be a respectable amount of background, I tackled the top portion of the little clown. First up were his hands, which I first padded with tent stitch in white DMC floss and then added satin stitch in the same thread on top of that.
The cuffs were worked in slanted gobelin stitch over two threads and the collar in satin stitch. Surrounding these areas are tent stitches in Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #002.
For the arms, I was looking for a non-directional stitch, and chose Nobuko stitch in DMC floss #961.
A little more background to work, and I'll be able to start in on his jumpsuit!

This is really sweet - it's amazing what you do in tiny spaces with stitches.
Anne,
I really love that baby pink. It is so cute for that little clown.
