Clown Fish

Here is the beginning of my newest fish. It's a small yet very recognizable clown fish. It will join the other fabric fish that I'm collecting.

Purple Fish

Here is my next fish. I seem to have a thing for fish lately. This one is done in all varieties of purple batiks. It will continue to be added to as the piece grows.

I've done some enhancing with a pink wax crayon on the eyes, gills and lower rear fin.
