Finished the squirrel just before the last rays of sun left the photo set-up. Was able to get this quick snapshot before the light moved to its newest spot on the western sea. I have often felt that beads were too hard when a whole thing was made from them. Having this fuzzy tail helped me like the squirrel so much and gives a good balance between hard and soft. Besides I saved about a day and a half of beading by not having to do the tail. Only three days on this one.
