Brook trout fabric sculpture

Brook trout, about 14" long, made from fabric and card from housewares packaging.

The eyes are made from silver chocolate wrapping for the sclera and bicycle innertube rubber for the pupils, held together with globs of transparent plastic glue to give it dimension and a glossy, wet eye look.

These fish were crafted for -

Thanks, Larry!

Right now I'm wrapping up some extended travel, and I'm looking forward to setting up a studio and making larger objects in the real world again.

I can't wait to get back to good old Ontario! :)
