You do such a lovely job on these. My husband wonders why I inspect the fish so closely when we go to the Marina Market ;-)

Very lovely projects. I love the fish fabric. Your colors really play well together.

The green with white fish is to die for. It reminds me of fossil pieces where the sandstone forms around the entire fossilized fish. These are great.

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.
