Pretty sure I just saw a pilot whale fairly close to shore. That would be a first for me but I'm not certain. Bigger than a dolphin, smaller than a humpback. It was spouting.

The whale pouch is one of my most popular design! It’s also really practical to store little items for safe keeping and fast access!
Sadly, as much as I love making pouches, they take me a lot of time and energy, so I don’t really make them anymore.
I have three whales left in stock, and you can grab one on my website! https://evanskyarts.com/products/bourse-baleine
