This took me a little while, because I kept running out of string (if you're using 11 white and 1 black, don't cut the black string! Just leave the whole length knotted neatly and unwind as you go) but in the end it turned out alright. =]
We have this piano player in my Chorus class and the teacher calls him penguin. I was originally going to give him a stuffed penguin that was really big ( like bigger than him), but now i need to add this to my list of gifts for him.
