For the roomies known as  icefox,  fendras, and Kudani (don't know if he has an FA account)

I wanted to see if all those pawprint cross-stitch designs I've been showing can be used for possible commissions, and I wanted to try out a new smaller mesh, and I owe Icefox & Fendras a huge amount of gratitude, so I tried doing all at once (why not).

From this, I've learned that tracing the outline of the frame on the canvas with disappearing ink works far better than taking exact measurements & then counting the mesh. Also, tricks that work well on large canvas are very difficult with smaller canvas, and in the long run unnoticeable anyways so why bother. Also, cross-stitching the smaller canvas while on the bus is a royal pain in the ass.

The canvas without the picture frame is posted in scraps.
