Fishy Art

I love fish, more specifically aquarium fish, so after my last projects all being floral, I thought my next would be animals.

I found the orange crystal organza and knew exactly what I was going to do, it was made for being the fins of a goldfish, so after sketching out the fish I started the crewel work.

Using paintbox cotton threads and loads of short stitches this is the final piece, as you can see the organza really did need to be fins, in my opinion it looks stunning. I am considering turning this into a kit, would you be interested?
