Do you like fish? I’m very picky when it comes to fish and only like to eat the kinds that don’t have tiny fish bones. My fabric fishes certainly don’t have any and they don’t smell fishy either. I had so much fun sewing them, that I made more than I had planned to. For these I used some linen sample pieces I got from an interior decorator some years ago and gave them some lace fins.
As you can see, I had fun with the photo shoot too.
I like the rather simple linen fishes but I wanted a couple real lacey ones too and sewed some, using mainly different kinds of eyelet lace.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my “fish dish”.
You’ll find my “catch” at these parties:
Blissful Whites Wednesday at TIMEWASHED
Be Inspired at Common Ground
Transformation Thursday at The Shabby Creek Cottage
Treasure Hunt Thursday at From My Front Porch To Yours
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Julia

Поздрави и хубав уикенд от мен.
Die Fische sind wunderbar, soooo süß.
Your fish are truly wonderful. I love the one with the extra long tail, it just looks like a tropical fish. The fabrics and laces you have just used are perfect Julia. x
These are adorable! This is a first, I've never seen anything quite like them. Love the way you staged them too, so darn clever!
Oh those are ADORABLE! What a cute idea! The photo's were great!

Dear Julia
I may not like fish (I am a vegetarian so no eating of fish for me ) but I love your fish!
Unique creations they are and beautiful with the lace as fins. You are so clever!
I absolutely love the photo shoot. I have to say, they should be published - have you considered submitting to Stampington & co?
Wishes
Lynne
You are so wonderfully creative dear Julia. I'm not a fish fan (at least to eat) but these just make me HAPPY!!!!!
hugs from me...
Dear Julia,
Love your sweet fish and the way you have photographed them with the sand and net.
Hope you have a wonderful new week
hugs
Carolyn

Hugs,

How sweet and unique are these!!!! Beautiful work, as always, Julia!!! xo
Ach liebstige Julia,
deine Fischlein allein sind ja schon bezaubernd - aber wie du sie für uns "angerichtet" hast - mit Zitronenscheiben und Dill, Fischernetz und Muscheln, das ist einfach umwerfend - schön anzusehen und mit einer feinen Humorprise, die den Fisch erst so richtig würzig schmecken lässt ;o))
Danke für das Lächeln, das du damit erzeugt hast!
Viel weniger erfreulich ist die Nachricht, die du mir in Zusammenhang mit der kleinen Dottie geschrieben hast... Wobei ich die Hoffnung, dass sie wieder auftaucht, noch nicht aufgeben würde - manchmal sind Katzen ja auf sehr eigenwilligen Pfaden unterwegs... Ich drück dich ganz lieb und schick dir auf jeden Fall eine große Ladung Tierchenstreichler und Julia-Küschelbüschel mit! Alles Liebe und herzliche rostrosige Grüße,
Traude
Hi Julia,
Your fabric fishes are adorable! I just love their lace tails. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Your fabric fishies are so very beautiful! Of course, everything you make is just lovely. Thanks for your recent emails. It is a rather dusty day so I guess I will take the day off from walking, but honestly, sitting makes my back hurt much worse. Better to keep moving somehow. Hope you have a lovely day. Tammy
Julia those are soooo cute and beautiful all at the same time! Thanx for partying at my place this week.
These are fabulous! Love the dish too!
Absolutely adorable! I also love how you staged them with the netting, lemon and dill...so very cute! Thanks for the inspiration!~Poppy
Fish?!? Did you say F.I.S.H.?!?!!? These are divine!!!!!! Oh my whiskers. Fish!
Purrs,

I LOVE these! They are absolutely gorgeous! Awesome! I never would have thought! Please let us know if you ever sell any of them!

Maravilhosos trabalhos. Parabéns.
I love your fabric fishes! I think fish are wonderful, and I have been trying to figure out how to transition my somewhat shabby, romantic cottage-looking living room (that is mostly pinks and pale greens & vanilla whites) into an updated, beach-house feel. I think you have inspired a look I can create, using many of my pastel vintage textiles and abundant lace collection. I can sew fish! And display them on my white slipcovered sofa. Or alone. We'll see. Thanks for the inspiration. You are truly talented.
Юлия, огромный привет из России!Я в восторге от ваших рыб!
Я по гороскопу "Рыбы", и мне очень нравится темы о рыбах в творчестве! )))
Your linen and lace fish are genius! I also love the more casual, laid back denim variety, too. I can't decide which I would like to create first. I have oodles of vintage lace pieces and way less denim hoarded away. It was so creative of you to use certain fin-like pieces of ruffled lace as actual fins!!! I will do that, too. But all my fish will be just for me because I don't have a store or a booth or sell things ever. Once I create, I want to keep it. Oh, and while writing this message, I see that I already left a comment back in June. Oh well. I still love what you do.
