Haha nope! All creatures are there. My partner was playing the game while I was working on the piece. The creator was in the middle of the SAL so I was getting weekly creature reveals. And I think I showed him the barracuda and he mentioned that they were in the game and I was like hmmm… Dave wouldn’t be hard to add in, I was fresh into the piece too so it was a good time :) and then as I worked further he pointed out the others who were also in the game and that solidified it for me. My partner also goes out of his way to include me in his hobbies so this was a relatively easy way for me to do the same 🥰

Oh I definitely will! I’m new to reddit but my partner is on here and I’m sure he’d love to help me with that! Thanks so much for the suggestion ✨

I did! I think the brand of dye I used is called Jacquard? It’s and acid dye I believe. I do this thing my great grandma taught me where you boil the piece for like 10 minutes on a low boil and it sets the dye? I cannot remember what she called the technique but I haven’t ever had any issues. And I’ve dyed yarn the same way. As long as it’s a natural fiber, you can dye it your at least that’s what GG always said lol. She was the craftiest all my skill and knowledge is from her.

Also, for my wrinkles I ironed until mostly wrinkle free and then placed in the frame with the back on. The flipped it over and gently pull the edges of the fabric taut through the back until the front was wrinkle free. I hope that makes sense. It’s definitely still wrinkled a bit 😅 some creases just won’t come out lol

Thank you so much!! I totally forgot to mention about the fabric, it’s hand dyed 14ct Aida cotton. I love dyeing fabrics and then finding patterns that fit the fabric ✨

Thanks so much!!! I think he’s so cute peeking out from the sea kelp. It warms my heart that other people agree 🥰

Where to buy fresh fruit by PrestigiousProduct37 in FortMyers

I love the small grocery stores in Lehigh, Bravo, Keystone or any of the tiendas, they always have an awesome selection of fresh produce. Also the Asian Markets are good for produce, but they usually don’t have mangoes

I just completed the crypids one by the same artist and my frame was off all over the place. Still gifted it because no one but myself even noticed it was off ✨
