With his fluffy fringe, tiny horns, and gentle little face, Angus is full of cosy Highland charm. Inspired by the beautiful Highland cattle of Scotland, this miniature beaded companion was designed to capture all the warmth and personality of these much-loved animals in a tiny little palm-sized friend.
From the soft shaping of his muzzle to the tousled hair and little black hooves, every detail has been carefully designed to give Angus his sweet, characterful expression. His bright collar and tiny golden charm add an extra touch of personality and make him feel even more special once assembled.
This pattern is ideal for beaders who enjoy sculptural peyote projects and bringing small creatures to life bead by bead. Take your time with the shaping and assembly — the magic of this piece appears gradually as each section comes together.
Whether Angus is sitting on a shelf, tucked into a collection of miniature beadwork animals, or gifted to someone who loves Highland cows, this tiny companion is sure to bring a smile.
