my fish

There was an action started by Etsy
to make a Swimmy inspired fish.
Many fishes have already started
their journey towards Brooklyn.

My first fish was made of a cardboard
with my paper-mâché experiment on it.
I really don't like the result. Because of
the junkmail and the gouache color I used,
it looked like dried tomato sauce *lol*
first attempt

Today I've got a flash to make a collage.
The gills was a coincidence - a lucky one!!
This time I love the result SO much,
that I'm not sure, if I really want
to send it to Etsy. My heart is set on it
and I won't be able to make it once more,
cause of the images I've taken out of
the magazines.
Oh well,... let me sleep on it first.

I think your swimmy looks very happy! Happy to be swimming in tomato sauce...: ))
Your pic from the collage is for some reason unavailable ;(

Hahaha, Inger!! My first attempt swims now with his old friends.. junkmail ;-)
Dunno why the pic was unavailable, but I have some problems with Google lately. I've renewed the link and now it's here again :) Thank you!!

I love your swimmy! Mine is just painted and drying. I don't like the color orange and need to change it to make it brighter.
So mine looks like he had tomato sauce all over too! :)
Perfectionists? Naah! LOL

Your Swimmys are so cute. I hope Etsy posts a picture of all of them together soon.
