Capybara in yellow floral Chanterelles Examples of Poiret's early workThe capybara is the worlds largest (and cuddliest) rodent. My little paper darlings are based on a 1792 illustration from Bewicks A General History of Quadrupeds. The capybara is 4. 25 inches wide, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall. Materials: Japanese paper, glass bead, and cotton floss on cotton paper.
