Status as of 5-30-2010  DONE

with Oliver at Fort Trumbull

Because of the two sided nature of these fish, I now also provide a black shelf

with a lip that can be used so one can easily display either side the fish

simply by turning it around.

Enlarging the circle and modifying other areas.

The circle cut out 5-23-2010

Looking good!  A lot more layers to go.

After sanding the edges and inperfections

a liberal application of gesso

is applied filling in the spaces

                                       

I am thinking of adding a fish within the oval window

and a large fin on the front side. 

Also,  Let there be ruby red lips!

5-26-2005  almost ready for color 

needs some  stuff on the hat.

I love making these fish with someone in mind.

This one has been a lot of work to fill and smooth out the glued sandwich joints.

As of this morning, he is lookin' good.  Still need to construct the extra fish for the back side.

This will happen tonight.
