Thank you so much for this class - I never would have leapt into such an in depth image without your encouragement... 

I planned this whole octopus piece and then decided it was maybe too detailed so I did a test with just a part of it, and then went on to make the whole of my design.

The proof of my mini "Test" which definitely stands on it's own.

Proof of my full piece - 

Final - The image smudged a bit in the transfer and I don't love how the curl in the bottom (shorter) arm came out but otherwise I liked it enough to add my signature.
