Fish

18 years ago

This is a fish I made as a memorial to one of our Shubunkin Goldfish that died a few weeks ago.

I made the form out of styrofoam and chicken wire.

Here is a photo that shows the front and back:

    Wow, I love him. a memorial fish. That is so sweet.. How hard was that to make out of styrofoam and then chicken wire?? Is the chickenwire easier to handle than hardware cloth. I just bought a roll of the hardware cloth at Lowes yesterday.

    You got the fishy shape so perfect and I do love those fabulous bright colors. Where are you going to put him?? That reminds me I have to finish my memorial stepping stones for my doggies. I didn't listen and bought a big bag of quickcrete professional(what the hey?) brand and when I got it home saw the sand and aggregates were already in it... And I had my Shari Hunter book with me..

    So what kind of cement did you use, the portland with sand??? I am going to try the stepping stones with what i have , it

    Keep the pix coming...

    I used Quickcrete morter mix. That way I don't have to mix anything. I'm kinda lazy!

    Oh, yeah, I was wondering about your prospective move too. I do a lot of thinking during the night when I'm TRYING to sleep. Beautiful fish, and it makes me think of all the styrofoam I keep tossing out. Never think about using it. Gonna try that.

    I don't know why this piece makes me want to write Haikus!

    Shubunkin gold fish
    prettily reincarted
    live on fish live on

    Great job on him! Gonna have to try this someday.

    pretty reincarnated (now it has 7 syllables)
