Wise Man of felt: King Balthasar

Akkording to Hungarian (and German) folklore, the three Wise Men from the East who came to honour the Baby Jesus were kings, and one of them was black. The Germans say it was Melchior, we say it was Balthasar. And what he might have looked like? See below:

I'm quite pleased how he turned out , myself. Now I'm thinking about the other two. One of them will have a long, grey beard like Círdan, that much is certain.

He is cute, isn't he?
So, what was your Birthday like? Or has LJ sent me a false alert?

Very nice!. I like the little bell and his crown with the little beads on it.

Thank you! I worked four days on him because I kept getting new ideas all the time. First the little pink beads on the pink trimming, then the little bell, then the beads on the crown, then the beads on the incense dish, then the chain of the incense dish, then the yellow beads representing his rings, then the lengthy yellow beads in the aureola and so on...
