Nice light kruzer!!
I'm sure when you got into it you went DAM
I needed more stringers going up the light!
Thats why your squares got kinda streched in centro.
AND now that you did it you know what I'm saying.
But great job!

And on the barnicle look thing you could try glues or plaster painted.

Yea I wanted to try it w/a small diameter line to keep the puffer as a focal point, but I couldn't use any more sections of line because of the flat base of the bowl. I would have had to make the starting ring a bit larger, which would show the flat bottom more. The problem is, when I made the first two rows, it was as tight as a damn coaster! But you're right, one more strand would have been nicer for the central spacing on the bowl. I need to learn the other way of tying the netting, like how Tikiville made his float net. Anyone want to show me how?!?!

Sorry for the thread derail... Great work Tikiville!
