Love it, thought I was on the r/Embroidery subreddit! The creative coloring makes it look underwater. Fantastic job in stitching and design! Particularly impressed with the whiskers, did you use a whipped backstitch of like... 1 thread? : )

Thank you! The whiskers were done with some stiff quilters cotton thread I found in my sewing kit. It's basically the stiffness of actual whiskers so each one is just a loose straight stitch that I didn't pull all the way through the fabric.

Love it! Must be what makes the angles look just right for whiskers; some buoyant, some affected by gravity. Brilliant job.
