Today is Tuesday which means studio play day for me – woohoo!!! I had no idea what I was going to do today (which is normal for a Tuesday) so I started with the last thing I was playing with – tube beads. I had an idea floating around that I wanted to create fish so wondered how I could convert a tube bead into a fish. I played with a couple of different concepts and then came up with an articulated fish which was good but didn’t really excite me. Rather than have the 3 fish components moveable I decided to join them all together and created some fish pendants.

| 3 fish pendants |
Still not happy with this look and to be honest… they didn’t really “give me goosebumps” so I decided to just add one section of a veneer to a fish body to see if I liked this look. Not bad but still didn’t knock my socks off!
 |
| Poor fishy…looks like his head has been chopped off…it’s actually his mouth!! |
I liked the “glossy” section of the fish so decided to concentrate on a fish with a black head and tail and “painted” body. Now this was getting warm…I liked this look
.
 |
| I think the top fish here is my favourite both for shape and surface design. |
Okay what if I changed the black head and tail and simply painted the entire fish? I tried it and I liked it. Not overly happy with the shape but definately worth exploring more.
 |
| Oh this poor guy also got his head chopped off!! I do love his fishy skin though. |
 |
| These guys glisten beautifully in the sunshine, sparkle fish! Hmm unfortunately the top guys has lost his head too. |
This time I decided to create the fish in a rather crude shape and textured..hmmmm now this sounded exciting to me!
 |
| Hmmmm now these are yummy…I especially love the lace fish and dotty fish. |

Now these fish excited me….oh yeah!!! They ended up being my favourite fish and I will definately be exploring this concept more.
 |
| Just wanted to show you a yummy close up of delicious opal mylar. |
