This little fishie was hand cut from scrap wood. The beauty of this object is in its detail and layers. Every look will bring new surprises.

Each layer is lovingly laid down, allowed to dry and then the next layer until complete. The first layer is paper collage and incorporates dried flowers. The second layer is chalk pastel drawings which is fixed using acrylic gel medium. Numerous layers of acrylic paint is applied to add detail, texture and pattern. The predominant colours on this fish are red and orange. Beads are then attached to give a little sparkle. Each fish gets 4 layers of water-based varnish to protect the collage.

There is a small hole drilled in the nose for hanging.

This item is one of a kind, hand made by me.
Thanks for swimming past.
