COMPLETED: 41 GOAL: 649
I just finished my first request. This is probably (no, definitely) the most difficult Pokemon I've made so far. There are a lot of pieces, so I tried to keep the pattern as simple as possible and I added a lot of pictures to help with the assembly. Enjoy......

When both sides of the beard are finished sew to head. Ball-1 should sit about halfway up face and ball-4 should be at the bottom of the head. When both sides of the beard have been sewn on the two ball-4s will just meet under the chin area.
