Fish in the weeds
Janet has just completed her fish she started with Nikki. You can see how far she got at the meeting below.
After the meeting she trimmed the colourful entrapped fabric and added sequins and the eye.
She then used sari silk around a ring and added loose threads to look like weed.
Fish
Fran redesigned her fish and made it with sheers. It is very pretty with pinky- orange scales.The fish is obviously happy swimming in the water because it has a massive smile.
April Meeting
At our April meeting Nikki Parmenter arranged a zoom meeting for us on Plastic Entrapment.
Each of us chose what we wanted to make in advance of the meeting from a select list.
We had chosen fish, flying fish, tulips, frog, and a seahorse.
Nikki sent us the relevant packs containing plastic, shiny material, glittery paper, silver, funky foam, sequins and a pattern.

The zoom meeting was much enjoyed by all members and thanks go to Nikki for introducing us to a completely new technique.
Sandra chose to make a flying fish and you can see the pattern below.
The outline and some detail was drawn onto the plastic and then the material and paper were placed between the plastic. The outline was drawn by the sewing machine using a dark thread. Colour was added by machine embroidery. Little gaps were left in the stitching so the glittery stuff could shine through!

| The fish and the two flying fins were made separately. |
 |
| Additional plastic was attached at the back and then stuffed. |

Sandra says she will make a circular frame for it when she has a bit of time!
Thank you Sandra. I like the colours.
The frame is now finished and the fish is entering the water with a SPLASH!
