Yes! I’ll let @EriChanHime explain more, but that’s definitely what it is.

Received from @jeanneleigh today and omg!!! She focused on one of my favorite movies, Fantastic Mr. Fox!! 
she decided to work on automaton to make the foxes dance!!!
They dance/move just like in the movie and it makes my heart happy.
I’m not sure if you can upload a video and I’ll try to figure a way because the motion really needs to be seen.
Thank you so much @jeanneleigh!!!

Thank you all so much!! 
I was so inspired by all of Kwality’s Pinterest and topic ideas it was hard to narrow down, but I mean—monster! 
He is my first foray into layering separate pieces into embroidery, and also doing embroidery on mesh! I will give him his own post soon! It was so fun to make, and I am over the moon that he was so joyfully received. 
And now, BEHOLD!! My gorgeous needle-felted gold-adored bug friend from Kwality!! 
The colors are cheerful and vibrant and the texture of the body is so cool. It’s fuzzy from the wool, but very firm; she did an amazing job making it feel very solid.
Look at that absolutely precious little face with bead eyes and the individually thread wrapped wire legs! 
It’s lovely from all angles.
The little critter has French knots and floss details all over, including metallic thread webbing on his wings! Love it! She also sent a beautiful card that has what feel like thin wood veneer patterns on it.
And finally, here little insect friend (I am still thinking of a name) is happily chilling with his friends on my desk at home!
I love little 3D critters and toys and curios that I can hold and play with, and Kwality delivered amazingly! It makes me happy to look at him while I work, and also definitely gives me nostalgic feeling from the game “Cooties” that I had as a child (I thought it was from the 80’s, but it looks like its roots go back to at least the 30’s!). Kwality did such a lovely job melding my topic list and loved colors with Pinterest inspiration and personal flair. I have loved being in this swap!
I am on my phone, which is super uncooperative with quotes/mentions, so I will get on my computer later because I want to be able to tell everyone what an amazing job they have done on all the OTT items in the gallery so far! All amazing!!!

@Kwality570 That little bug turned out adorable! The stitching and beads throw it over the top. Cute little legs too!
This swap and gallery have been amazing. Thank you all for such a stress-free and phenomenal swap. Each package was terrific and shipped on time.
