A Fishy WIP Done!

I love it when a plan comes together! I'm sure you've heard that one before, but this is a true statement for sure. My friend Marvel saw a piece at an art show that she wanted but didn't have the money to buy one so we made our own. I know, bad for business but this way you can choose your colors and style and make the piece your own. No we didn't copy completely, just used the basic idea to create a hanging that would look good in her home. She did great I think!

We sure had fun doing this, and it's a great way to spend good friend time. I enjoy teaching people but having a good student certainly helps! So this will hang in a place of honor in her living room. Way to go Marvel!

A Fishy WIP

Sometimes you see something so cool you want to try to make it for yourself. A dear friend and I are working on a fish wall hanging for her as she saw one she fell in love with. We put this one together as a team, but she wants to make another one with me just supervising. It will be fun to see what she ends up with. This handsome salmon will be sectioned where the deep lines are and hung from copper wire with beads and driftwood between each section. We are waiting for the top to dry enough to flip this over and take the mold out so the back can dry. We call ourselves the 2 Portugees as we both have Portuguese ancestors. Who woulda thought I could come to Oregon and meet someone I could call my sister in blood....lol.
