A few weeks ago I posted photos of some decorative herrings. Here is another fish hanging, but this time it’s based on tropical fish. The bodies and fins are embroidered separately and then stitched together and lightly stuffed. The fins are stiffened with PVA glue, and the fish strung together with nylon fishing line, which makes the connection between them almost invisible. The photo is so long that you need to scroll to see it all but I didn't want to make it smaller as then you couldn't have seen the details
The mobile is a lot of fun to look at and I really enjoy having it up. It wasn’t a lot of work to make, and for a while I was thinking of submitting the patterns and the directions to a craft magazine so that other people could make it. However it can be a bit fiddly, and the stitching of the fins is particularly challenging, so perhaps I’d better choose something a bit simpler to submit for publication
Love it! Now do one in birds!
