Kathryn....You show us some of the most amazing fabrics in your work !!!! Really....that looks like they put dye on real fish and laid them on the fabric !!! WOW !!!

This is exactly how I do it!!!!!!! It is an ancient Japanese practice. They would do this in order to document different species. My brothers are fishermen so they give them to me to print. Afterwards I bury them in the garden with prayers.

Actually there are two different fish on this pillow. One is a Red Squirrel and the other is a Pudding wife. Bermuda names.
