I finally finished my fishy wallhanging that's now hanging behind my tub. It was fun shopping for different fish fabrics. I fussy cut fish & put onto a background that looked like water to me. I designed it myself.
Hope you like it.

Love it. You did a great job. I really like the composition and the clusters/schools of fish.

Cheers, K

I love it! Something like that would be great in my bathroom that is decorated with seashells and cobalt blue glass bottles. You did a wonderful job!!

I love it! And, I love your tub!!!

Thank you so much. The only way I could capture the little blue fish on the bottom was to cut the larger pc. capturing the seaweed, etc. That set the tone for my pc. & got me started on the layout.
The lighter fish on the R are the backside of the fabric. I love doing that.

I have found that the tub is a big white elephant & would never put it in again. I'm just not a soaker. Got other things I'd rather do than sitting in the tub. Just had to put in a larger hot water heater since our orig. one wouldn't provide enough water to even cover the jets.

What a wonderful idea :)...Great Job, I love it!

That is really pretty! Looks like an aquarium!

Love your wall hanging & I'm like you, I am not a soaker. When we bought this home (Modular) I told them I did NOT want the tub in the bathroom. I would have rather had an oversized shower but once they got it here it was in there! All it does is collect dust & I hate it! I have all kinds of neat fabrics bought to do a fishy wall hanging for my bathroom too, just another one of those "on my to do list" Yours looks great, maybe that will motivate me!

Beautiful work. I LOVE how the little turtle's flipper is coming down beyond the piping. Very nice engagement of the edge!

That would look very nice on the wall by my tub!

You are so right. Lots of water, fish, crabbing, shrimping around the canal. And lots of green trees.
I'm on a sm. lake above the canal so there is water everywhere. I even brought out some of my fish knick knacks now with my fishy wallhanging. I'm loving it more than I thought I would.

Feel free to copy it or design your own. My hardest part was to keep it fairly simple & not overdo it. Did you find the turtles?

debcavan 09-22-2011 08:56 PM

Does that brighten up the room. I love how the fish tails break the frame and extend onto the border. So fun.

ScrapQuilter 09-22-2011 09:23 PM
