Tips for the Herding Scene
The storytelling magic is in the pairing: the border collie crouched in its classic herding stance with a fluffy little sheep beside it. The sheep's wool is loop stitch or small bobbles in white. Keep the collie's black and white markings accurate with simple color changes, since that pattern is what makes the breed instantly recognizable.
