F4A803, MIX650, Embroidered Crab

Photo Details

Poster: snietje

I've started with my beach scene done yesterday but didn't know how to finish, saw the chalenge, pierced a crab pattern and embroidered it, colored it first with pencils, didn't like it so painted over with water colors, added the mouth and glued the eyes

That embroidered crab steals the show with its quirky charm! I love how you turned a creative pivot into something delightfully unique—the watercolor layers add such vibrant personality, and those googly eyes bring it all to life. The mix of texture, stitching, and expression makes this beach scene both unexpected and completely memorable.
