"Know Your Mushrooms" Mycology Chart (Finished)

The frame is custom and loosely, loosely, loosely based on the border of the Whomps from Super Mario World. Special thanks to Sprite Stitch (whoever came up with the "Know Your Mushrooms" bit first, I will gladly credit) and
Phluadu. This piece is a commission that I'm using to pay for a gifted Flickr account
I started it yesterday and it should be done soon. I just have to fill in the border and background. I can't decide if I'm doing solid white, or graduating in some yellow colors from the edge to give it a warm glow. The frame itself will probably be rust-butterscotch-cheddar-yellow.
I'm going to make the corners flare a little bit more horizontally to balance things out and I think that'll do 'er!
Edit: LOVE my new avatar Johloh! lol

Thanks guys! I'm totally wishing I could keep this one. I may have to just make one for myself!
Filling in holes now, and I gotta say, the adjustment I made on the corners looks great so far. I really got that "Honky tonk" feeling to the frame that I was going for
You peeps are welcome to use the frame design if you want (please just shout out
).

I think I like the colors of the embellishments but the border/frame is made with those gold colored Perlers, and I don't know if I like it yet. Might be too dark but I'm just not sure.

He
And so far he's thrilled. I did this piece in exchange for a gifted Flickr Pro account, which is 25 dollars. Now the buyer feels guilty and wants to give me more money 'cause this was so timing consuming. I'm like um ok
