I couched some fishing netting and beaded some beach treasures to finish up "A Perfect Day."  That's the title of the music sheet I included in the piece.  I'm happy with it now!
My Jacksonville fiber group, FAN, is donating a collaborative piece to the Humane Society and we're doing fish!  These are two of mine which may or may not make the final piece.  I had a great time creating!  The jelly fish is a dyed silk cap which I placed between 2 layers of soluble plastic and machine embroidered, then added the various fibers before partially washing out the soluble stuff.  The fish is a stuffed odd shaped pillow like body, wrapped with gold thread and beads.  The wire was couched on at the end.  Fun, is all I can say!

The 'A Perfect Day pieces are just stunning. It looks like you had fun with the monoprinting too.
Thanks, everyone. I am having grand fun!
