Last fishy fridays

more sea knitted on large needles by Maria and donations of fishes,,,and floats I knitted for the herring net
We had a go at moulding mesh around marine shapes ....I was so engrosed I forgot to take photos...

This the pattern we used for the shells...a strong grip was needed to hold the curling end whilst sewing it tight.
 The Artlink Galley Installation with a selection of Fishy Fridays work...
The first fish on the second row is my old fashioned  grannie fish...chinz, pearls, cotton net curtain and a gathered voile tail....
 at the bottom is the willow baskets made willows from a Scottish Island...the paper mache crabs and the shells, the patchwork Mantra Rays and herrings..and decorated with stitch and beads seahorses. and below the jelly fish and herring made from recycled envelopes from bank statement and bills...
there were two of these installations hanging from tanalised wood mimicing the bottom of a boat..
