I am touched by the many kind words and complements from this Q Board. Thank you.
Grace: You asked how I made the fish. Most were simply cut from fabric and fused to the background ... easy. Kathy and I shared our fabric stash, which doubled the variety of fish prints. The long fish on upper left corner was created by fussy cutting motifs from Kaffe Fassett fabric and fusing them in place onto a large fish pattern I found in a book. The large round fish on 3rd panel (my personal favorite) was created with the Joan Shay "appli-bond" technique. Her method creates a unique 3-D affect. If you are interested in learning how to do Appli-bond, search Joan Shay on YouTube ... she has a few video tutorials.
sue.ross: I, too, grew up watching Jacques Cousteau documentaries and have always been fascinated with the underwater world.
