Yup... its a pattern that mimic all the crays, shrimp, mantis and prawn.... put in different part like zonker strip, it will turn out as crays...

These are really great. What is a press paper eye? Is that something that you made by hand? If so how. Thanks, Lloyd

Something you get from the plastic flower.... from florist that sell artificial flowers... :rolleyes: to make it more durable.. I suggest you soak them in vanish or lacquer... so the paper won't wear off so fast..
