Looking forward to see them Maria!

They are interesting to look at, Tiz. I have some more to post later and their different patterns are so nice. Sorry that you haven't found any yet, Sckel, but don't give up hope!

I'm the only one here who can not find Harvestman and mites reds. :(

It reminds me of kindergarden crafting for easter where you had the yellow fluffy body-parts for a chicken, but you had to glue those plastic puppet eyes on them...

Oh lol, that is a pair of funny placed eyes!
