Mr Fish

17 years ago

My sis and I hit a great sale Sat am. Along with the chair, I found this guy for $2. I'm calling him Mr. Fish for now. I'm considering either painting him, or mosaicing him. For now until I finish my sons patio tables, he'll enjoy this little spot in my garden. He's about 24" long and 24" high. Thot he was cool. Enjoy.{{gwi:141161}}

WOW!!! He's spectacular!! But I think I'd keep him 'as is'. Love the patina on him. People wait years and years to get their stuff looking like that. And for just $2??? EXCELLENT buy and find!

Oh cool!!!For 2 dollars that's a find. I'd paint him. I've got to start hitting GS earlier to get the good stuff I guess!

What a terrific find in that big fish. I'm with Cait, love him just as he is. But otherwise, I'd look up pictures of his kind of fish and try to mosaic him in those colors. I think they are pretty vivid tho can't recall what he is.

Congratulations on a GREAT score!

I just remembered seeing a fish like this, LOL, its called a copperband. But if you mosaic or paint him this color, you'll have to hide him from SusieRose!

I think he looks great way he is but you are 1 of the ones that can do magic with a bunch of tiles or stained glass so it is sure to look great whatever you do! Jan

He is awesome! I love him just the way he is. If you decide to mosiac him, make sure he is strong enough to withstand the extra weight of the tesserae and the grout. If you decide to paint him, I'd probably use an irridescent metal finish.

Luna I believe he is strong enough for sg. The stand may not be, but it can be reinforced. I have some van gogh(sp) that I would like to use. What do ya think. I have some greens, reds, blues,copper,gold. mmmmm

Boy, kati...you really did score! I've got one of those fish...tho' not nearly as big...don't know if you can spot him in this pic...but I planted him to "shade the roots" of a new clematis planted at this 4x4 in the pond gardens. I've had this fish outside (as is, like yours) probably for 7 or 8 yrs. and never bring him in during the winter! An awesome find for you...

so no matter what you do with him, he will be worth it! Have fun and TFS! Jeanne S. {{gwi:141163}}

Oooohhh....LOVE your new fish!! He's a great shape and I love the patina too! Whatever you do, I'm sure he will make a great addition to your garden! Do you have a water garden that he can be near?

Jeanne I love youe pond, and yes I do see your fish. What a wonderful spot to display your flowers and the little boy is adorable. Marlene, no I don't have a pond but do have a water fountain. I guess this will have to do.
