A Felt Panda Munching Bamboo
A panda pieced from black and white felt sits eating bamboo, stitches in plain view; if there were a real one, I'd want to pet it.
✍️ The key is "few and chunky" cut pieces: the prompt stops detail at what scissors can cut, so ears, eye patches and limbs are whole pieces of felt. Add a pink nose and it jumps from ornament to a panda with a face.

Square 1:1 frame, centred composition with breathing room on all sides. A giant panda sits upright eating a bamboo stalk, rendered as felt appliqué: black ears, eye patches, arms and legs on white felt, with a small pink felt nose and mouth, in front of a green bamboo grove of stitched leaves, with a few bamboo shoots on a pale mint felt ground. Build everything from a small set of matte cut felt shapes layered on a felt base, with visible edge stitches and soft fibre edges, keeping details broad enough to stay credible as cut felt. Look: flat and even, with soft shadows beneath each layer; bamboo in two greens with stitched segment lines; a palette of black, white, two greens and pale mint plus a touch of pink; cheerful, tactile, handmade. No people, readable text, logos or labels.
