"
Silver Fish"
●
A
wooden fish on a metal stand came into my studio about a year ago, and
waited his turn to take center stage. A few weeks ago, my husband and I
were in San Francisco for a few days, and I made a point of visiting my
favorite store in the city:
SCRAP.
I never know what I’ll find there, the materials in the store change
daily, but I always find an abundance of “art materials”.
The warehouse is organized by type of material: wood, metal, glass,
fabric, paper, images, plastic, natural materials, beads &
buttons,
arts & crafts, toys, and more.
This day at
SCRAP I found a ton of these silver buttons being sold by the cup-full,
and I instantly knew they would make a beautiful "fish dress". I
gathered all my other “silvery” bits and bobbles to include coins,
bottle caps, milagros, washers, beads, charms and earrings. And I
started nailing . . .
About a week later,
Silver Fish was finished: be-jeweled and be-dazzled, sitting on his metal perch, ready to celebrate in silvery style.
