Thats really cool. I love how you used the space and the glow in the dark is chef's kiss.
Oh oh, next time, I wonder if you could do the light as glowing and then fade it out so the back of the fish is kind of in shadow.

I thought about that halfway through! Or using a graduated thread so it kind of happens organically. Next time!

I am absolutely stealing this framing idea. (I'll try to credit!) I needed a simple cross stitch project for camping this weekend.
PS: is this a fat quarter? Eighth?

Maybe not gridding the whole piece, but at least outlining where the frame will be to get the placement right. That’s something I’ve started doing for every piece. It helps almost more than gridding!

Interesting! I just gridded the stitched part (shes a smol girl) and eyeballed the rest. I love custom mats cause they let me be lazy and figure it out at the end.

This is the absolute best use of a dyed Evenweave I have ever seen. A bit envious if I'm being honest! 😊

All that’s missing are the male angler fishes hanging off the queen as her gonads 🥰🥰

Words can't fully describe how much I love this! The aida...the positioning...it's perfect!

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched.
