I thought black would be easier on the eyes than red. :)#4: Minnie Fuerstnau (m.fuerstnau) on Feb 24, 2012 [SPOILER]
I loved this puzzle; I didn't "see" it until the last couple of pixels of the tail. Wow! Nice job.#5: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Feb 24, 2012 [SPOILER]
Thanks.
Thanks! I painted this last year, and I didn't think it would translate well to pixel form. Then I solved a diagonal fleur-de-lis that David had made. :)#6: Jota (jota) on Feb 24, 2012
Yummy!#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Mar 3, 2012
It's beautiful, Kristen! And the solve was fun, I enjoyed watching the image slowly appear. I like the border too, nice contrast.#8: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Mar 3, 2012 [SPOILER]
Thanks, Teresa! I needed the border to get the solve going, and still keep all of the little gaps between segments. :)#9: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Mar 10, 2012
I am not going to solve this big one Kristen, but oh how beautiful the image, absolutely amazing! You are such an artist :)#10: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Mar 10, 2012
Thanks! 40x40 isn't that big ;)#11: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Mar 11, 2012
I know, I use to love solving bigger ones, but these days I restrict my puzzle sizes to no more than 25x25, due to the time I have on the computer, and I find that if I save puzzles I rarely go back to them, which is shame. But I do like looking at them, and i can really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into a beautiful puzzle such as this one Kristen :)#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 3, 2017
Really clever design. Love the adaption of the basic image. Very doable puzzle and a rewarding solve.#13: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Aug 6, 2019

I keep seeing a crab or a lobster. I like the solve so far, tho it's pretty damn tricky!
More to come...
Done now. Beautiful! Who knew a crab would be so beautiful?
it's a crawfish (aka a crayfish or crawdad). Essentially, a small lobster.
