"Best Fishes"
EDM challenge # 166
**************
My journal spreads are hardly ever quickly
done--as I'm not happy till I've fiddled
with them for a while. I always thought
the fish I designed was cool and decided to
use it and searched for the
Chinese coins and found them
to go with the theme of the Fish
as a Chinese Symbol. I could not
see what was on them well... so I
faked the writing and a friend said,
I may have written something
offensive---hope not :-)
******Below is a photo of the wooden 'in the round'
20" fish on a pedestal, where you can see
the metallic copper gleam. He can be
swiveled around to the Sunfish side.

What a fabulous composition! Perfect choice to add the chinese coins.
Guess you finished those taxes!! Love your fish :)
OOOOH MY!!!!! This is fabulous...and I think is now my new fave of yours!!! Love love love this! :)
Love this! composition, style, and am I understanding correctly that the wooden model is also your creation? If so ... WOW!
Lovely spread Winna.
I wasn't offended, but then I have no idea what it says either! LOL!
That's awesome!
Wonderful spread - have been missing your work this last day or so. Glad the taxes are nearly sorted so you will can more time for your art. (Really, I am thinking of more drawings for me to view!)
I love this page! The fish was a wonderful inspiration! I love the colors you chose, and the way you wrote around the edge in white. What kind of pen did you use? I'm having trouble finding a decent white pen. Did you use paint or watercolor pencils for the color?
The white pen is Inkssentials opaque pen or uni-ball Signo UM-153 pen-----I use first, 3H pencil,Black Pitt Pens, Farber Castel watercolor pencils, and waterbrush..in the final stages, I may use bits of Acrylic paint from jars..here and there..not enough to cause pages to stick together. I spray lightly with Krylon Matte spray when I want to isolate the whole surface to work on top of. Winna
Love the fish., reminds me of a class project., colors are pefect.
VERY Cool spread!!
I love the colors!
So lovely - beautiful colours and striking composition that really works. Wonderful work as always!
Love those fishes! Great composition, colors, all of it.
Best fishes to you too, and congrats on finishing your taxes! Lovely picture - great colours. :)
I have missed so much during my time in hospital (unexpectedly long). I especially like this piece.
Oh wow oh wow! This composition really calls out to me. The colors, the shapes, everything.
This journal spread is so attractive! The colors go together extremely well, and the fish are terrific!
Your fish on a stick
Sure is slick!
Makes my heart goes two eighty six!
Great spread. Those are truly the "Best Fishes".
