Grace (16) is taking an art class with plans to one day become a graphic designer (which she will be fabulous at, by the way) and for their latest assignment they were supposed to make fish.
"Fish?" I said."Yes, fish," she said.
And I didn't pay much attention to it until she came home with a ball of newspaper--a paper mache mess of masking tape and fabricated fins but each day it was bigger and more defined until she finally had the form completed and, oddly enough, it really did look just like a fish.
By the time she'd finished painting and glazing it was beautiful. I keep telling her she needs to put her talents to work and make more--I love these paper mache busts from Anthropolgie. While I'm not a fan of real dead animals on my wall I can see great possibilities for decorating with what Grace might be able to produce. That girl has definite talent.

ReplyDeleteFantastic fish! Obviously the artsy-craftsy talent has passed down from generation to generation. She'll be a fabulous artist!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I think i will have the boys make something like this when arrive in Malawi this summer that way they can start personalizing their rooms! I love the idea of the African animal heads.

Serious skills. Next time I want a clown fish.
ReplyDeleteThe real question is, does it sing?
Give me that fil-a-fish, give me that fish.....ahh. That's what my girls love to do..sing that song all day long. Their daddy will even pipe in from time to time.
The fish is a beauty! And she certainly looks good in orange. Grace is so talented!
