![r/CrossStitch - [FO] Finished this name tag for my moms classroom, one day before her birthday!](http://web.archive.org./web/20240910073658im_/https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/Hc_cyezIWWy_epQWPGpWdQtco4FEuKgGsOfJiARat_k.jpg)
No mistake. Tell her it is perfect.
She’s a bit of a perfectionist so she’s fixing it now. We both had a good laugh about it though 😊
Too bad, art is not about perfection, it had a nice effect and she's talented anyways!
Agreed! Art is so fun, messy, and experimental. I hope she likes it either way. Show us an update pls!!!
Agree this looks intended
It's about ur perfection to ur liking. I had a sketch I took out shading and added back and forth until I made the decision to laminate it so I couldn't touch it anymore. Lol most the time we pick and pick and pick at our own art till we can't anymore and will still see every mistake upon seeing it each time. We are never truly satisfied with our work. There is always that "it looks good but it's missing something" thought.
It's her art, not yours. Just saying 🙌🏼🩶
It’s artistic interpretation

What the hell are you talking about?
I really didn't think i was all that cryptic
Very common for mother elephants and baby elephants to touch trunks whether feeding or otherwise. I would just burn a darker line in the middle of it.
That’s what she did to fix it! She called it, “the mother giving the baby a kiss” though.
That’s hilarious! I just finally noticed!
the funniest part is how long it took me to actually notice lol
It’s a special connection. Just needs a little more burn. I love this! Your moms good at it.
Lotsa toenails for elephants! Charming, though - I love it!
Oh! lol! That’s ADD for ya.
I saw an extra leg on the baby on the left
I think that might be negative space
I thought it was the baby on the left having 5 legs, until I saw your comment. Totally missed the trunks, but saw the legs.
I think its just a space under its belly, not a 5th leg
Some parents need to cut the apron strings, others need to cut the trunk.
Sad that the mom and baby are now stuck together forever. And the other is left out with a scar on its rear hip.
I remember arguing with my teenaged daughter and we somehow krazy glued our hands together. It was not the best time to be stuck together! Lol. Thank goodness for rubbing alcohol.
Llacking llamas. Llovely otherwise.
I’ll llet her know your suggestion 👍
Thanks. The picture's really well done. The eyes are very expressive on the elephants. It's a very clean style as well, I really like how it turned out.
No mistake, it shows a parent bonding with the golden child while the other child watches
She did a beautiful work. I love elephants
So does she, they’re her favorite animal. She’s pretty new to doing wood burnings, but I think they’re all turning out incredible.
I agree. They are incredible
How can something be so cute? Especially the babies!😭♥️
Elephants a la Tim Conway on Carol Burnett. Do Not watch it if you are in a place that you must be quiet.

First thing I thought of. It’s so funny!
Funniest sketch! Cracks me up just thinking of it
She didn’t put toes on the mom’s right leg
Baby on left also missing toenails on one of its back legs, which made me initially see it as having 5 legs.
This is what I saw first, 5 legs!
Mistake: Baby on the right and mom share a trunk.
Beautiful work still!
Mom killed it. Style is hers. Fucking awesome!
Baby elephant on the left also has 5 legs lol but that just means he can go farther faster!!!
that’s what i noticed first, haha.
fertile disarm ripe drunk judicious act intelligent dinosaurs rain rob

Hahaha
The doctor forgot to cut the trunk after birth.
They are just holding trunks. It's adorable.
YESS
What was the mistake????
The elephant trunk of the central elephant becomes the trunk of the baby elephant on the right- it is all one unit rather than two separate trunks.
I just figured they were holding trunks (like how we hold hands)
look at the trunks
Brotha on the left got 7 toes
She has a favourite child but besides that I think it's beautiful 💖
Honestly i Kinda loves the quarks. Made it a beautiful conversation piece as well. Tell your mom she is doing really good btw. The more she practices the better she will get too. The most important thing tell her to not stress over what other people’s work are in comparison. The only comparisom she should make is when she is looking back at her own work and seeing her improvement while looking forward and seeing how far she can go to continue to improve. See it as a fun challenge with room for growth and grace. And have fun with it. She doesn’t need to be the next da Vinci or Picasso she just needs to have fun and enjoy the challenge. Honestly though I love it creative uni trunks 7 toes and all.
Mum loves her kid and won't cut her nose to spite her face.
The lone baby's trunk is off to me and the joined trunks. Also the dots on only some feet throw me off
Yes. But, it took me way to long to spot it, and be absolutely sure, for it to matter.
If your mom needs the bald truth, there it is.
But, I've been an artist for decades and I know exactly how she feels. It may be part of the whole tortured artist thing or just that insatiable drive for perfect beauty. Tell her I feel that way about nearly every darned thing I make! And, I can't make things fast enough. I'm always out of stock.
Unsolicited advice, read at your own risk: it could be "fixed" by adding shadows to all of them on that side. But, I like it just the way it is!
That "mistake" actually made it look better.
Your mom is an ai undercover
All are fixable I refuse to mentions the main one and the others I found.
Aw! But it's cute! They're holding trunks!
The elephants from the Carol Burnett skit with Tim Conway.
5 elephant legs on the left.
Elephants don’t have eyebrows
Even with the mistake, this is gorgeous!
This is super cute I love them
She's just subconsciously choosing a favorite lol jk I lo e it though
Very cute mistake. Don’t fix it.
Yes. But we can just call it an elephant kiss. Elephants are my #1 favorite animal and I neeeeed this! Does she sell her art?
I wouldn’t call it a mistake. I’d call it artistic flair.
I like it like this adds a nice design element
Her mistake is not making more.
Absolutely wonderful work
Nope it’s perfect with mistakes
The connecting trunks.
I would rather she kept it and see which guests would notice.
Yes, but that makes it whimsical. I wouldnt correct it!!! It's very cute!!
I absolutely love it! I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. ❤️ Thts the beauty of art when you make something regardless if it’s a mistake or not it is unique.
I see nothing but great artwork 🌺.
You can always find a mistake if you’re looking for one - it’s beautiful!
I see no mistakes.
They're just kissing 💋 ;)
Only happy little mistakes
Yes but I still want it. Elephants are my favorite animal 🤍🤍🤍
This is awesome! If there is a mistake, it's not noticable at all!
This is awesome! If
There is a mistake, it's not
Noticable at all!

Looks cool. Seems intentional.
Lol. But it’s still bad ass.
Lol, I like weird art, I may steal this idea
I dig the connected trunks!
I love it! They are just holding trunks.
I think it's cool that way
Happy little accident
I love this! I want a tattoo like this. Each baby elephant to represent my daughters
They’re holding hands :)
I think it is perfect just the way it is. Art doesn't need to be factual, thats the entire point of it. 💛
I mean maybe they’re like avatar and connect their trunks like they’d attach their tails to one another
Connected trunks. 🤣🤣🤣
Like the game where you get your fingers stuck in the woven tube thing.
The mom and baby are just holding hands (trunks).
Not a single mistake even if you say there is. This is absolutely gorgeous! Is it something she's doing a commission on? Because I absolutely love this!
Your mom does lovely work!
lol. i like the mistake.
I noticed the trunks immediately but I felt it wasn't enough to call a mistake since they do that often. The third leg of the baby getting chopped off and just hanging beneath it looks painful tho.
her mistake is thinking there is one.
You could totally save that
I didn't nose- I mean notice anything
Why r the tusks connected? And where r the baby’s ears!? Looks cool still.
*trunks *are
Hahahaha. Maybe i need to pay attention. Thats so funny. Yes. I meant trunks. Lolol
R is fine. R works. Less typing, the better. Loosen up a bit. Its not gonna hurt you.
why you bein mean to your mom
Her mistake was having you as a kid. Tell her it’s amazing (because she did great) and move on.
The mistake is on the other side of the camera
I remember doing something like this when I was pledging a fraternity.

🥰🥰 I love it! That's cool that she can fix it, I would have thought it was one and done.
Love that cute ass style, hopefully the mistake fix turned out well lol
The left elephant's legs?
Looks awesome!!
Nope.
Thanks for sharing.
What mistake? Elephant noses basically fuse into one, sometimes. She created the infinity of toot-honkers.
Nope. Looks fantastic to me 😍
I don’t see any…looks nice….
LOL, that took me a second. Looks really good though and a dark border would fix it.
Mutant elephant baby has an extra leg? Edit it was the trunks. It's great I couldn't find the issue of
She didn't sign it
why look for mistakes?
Mom & baby are conjoined twins.
Conjoined twins
Conjoined trunks
Sure, since you pointed out there is one. Lol! The question is, would anyone else notice?
is it the trunks how they’re fused together lol
1 second. Trunks
BRB, running to YouTube to watch the “Siamese elephants” sketch.
(for those who aren’t familiar, this was an outtake from “The Carol Burnett Show/‘ where Tim Conway went off on a bizarre ad-lib tangent that broke everyone except Vicki Lawrence)
Little one on the left has too many legs?
Two for 1😁 still cute
One of those babies is adopted...
It's giving barbie
Oh my! So sweet. I love this!
Nope. Perfectly normal looking dogs to me
What mistake? this is absolutely beautiful. well done mom!
It’s beautiful. But the trunks being fused together is funny as hell
Baby elephant on left has 5 legs
she fussed the trunks together but it is still cute. If you didn't say anything I don't think I would have noticed.
A missing line under the big elephant's right ear.
Trunk of baby on left not separated from mother's trunk.
Still, she did a nice job.
Back in the dark ages, Tim Conway did a bit of a rif on the Carol Burnett show during a skit. The theme was "Siamese (conjoined) elephants", joined at the trunk. I saw this gorgeous piece and laughed at the thought of them sneezing.
Elephant story
Yes.
That’s a successful rendition of conjoined twins of different ages. Very rare among elephants.
Umbilical cord
It’s the thing that took the picture lol jk looks nice, finally something your mom can be proud of lmaoo, ok sorry I’ll stop
In scuba diving there is a name for that which I can't think of offhand.
This is amazing work tho, good job mom!!
I don't have much experience with wood burning but I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to make it look like they're holding trunks
5 legs
5 legs, elephant centipede, ears with giils.
The trunks are connected?
No mistake just a kiss!
Did she use a pattern or is this her own work?
Tell her to watch this. It makes me piss laugh every damn time
https://youtu.be/3qqE_WmagjY?si=CB9sfd9h_UTc8Jtz
Nah they're kissing!!! 🤗
Also the baby elephant looks like it has five or six legs
You
"We don't make mistakes—we have happy accidents."
Bob Ross
Yes. And it’s amazing.
Epstien elephant with kids, bruh this messed up.
Not a mistake, a charming quirk.
The trucks of the momma and baby flow together
My first thought was the big elephant swinging its head in circles and spinning the baby one like a yoyo
😂
Yes. 😂
We know which baby is mom’s favorite 😂
Are they elephants from Chernobyl? If so then there is nothing wrong at all.
🗡️
Nope
I legit thought it was a purposeful optical illusion, like the three chimneys that only have two bottoms.
Nyeth.
Mother elephant has 5 legs, her truck is connected to taller baby elephants(taller on the right) trunk. Elephant on the left has 5 legs, elephant on the right has a leg cut horizontally.
The left baby needs toes on the back foot.
i cant. its pretty.
“All they could do was blow and go, ‘SNORKEE!’”
🔥
Anyone's already calculated the length of the anus to anus tube?
The right elephant's leg?
I spouted it!
this wouldn't be nearly as funny if the rest wasn't so well made! it's like adding a little clown nose in the most beautiful painting lol
They are docking !
Do female elephants have tusks? Idk....but this is super cute either way
No mistakes.
