Whew! Thanks for scrolling through all of that! I hope everyone is having a fun, crafty season!
I made the canvas as well. It was hard for me to paint the background because I’m not good with letting go of the painting, but I thought i did a good enough job at it 
I used a free mask pattern for the shape of the mask, and I resized a quilt block from Wendi Gratz of Shiny Happy World for the sloth features. I used buttons for the eyes because this was originally for a prompt that required the use of buttons. And, it fits this prompt because the Dread Pirate Roberts (true love of Buttercup) wears a mask.
