The beginning

This is one of the first pieces I worked on. A cross stitched seahorse with the quote "thanks for not eating me".

My friend had decided to become vegetarian partly because of a dream she ha where a Seahorse on a plate had spoken those words to her.

I did an online meme where I asked if 3 people wanted something crafty made and I would make them something within the year.

So far this is the only one I've completed.





The colour first. I think he looks pretty badass with out the black work.





An eye and the outline.





The tail...






And the finished product.
I love how this turned out, although next time I would try and center the text more. The seaweed and shells were added after the initial design was finished.
