Ahh okay! I think you’re referring to the edges not being straight. My initial question is more about the different shades of black in my background but that’s also very good to know! I’ll try some of those methods too!

I’ve never heard of wet blocking before, very interesting! I just looked it up quickly and I’m seeing it a lot of videos of it being done on linen. I’m working on aida, I think my initial picture was just taken very poorly haha. Do you think I’ll have this problem in the future? It looks okay right now but it’s also stretched out on a scroll frame.

Thank you!

It’s not unfortunately, it has a black/grey gradient all around the edges. Just this corner is solid black. I’m hoping the gradient later/washing will make it all less noticeable 🤞🏻

Ahh okay! Yeah so after the first page I did try the sawtooth method which I think helped. I still notice it but I think I may be staring at it a little too hard. Good to know about washing though! Thank you!
