LOL!! Here's my fish story. I saw today's inspiration piece (found here: http://www.firemountaingems.com/gall...ms&sact=search) and thought it would be fun to play with my seed beads. Years ago I was a counselor at a youth camp in the summer, and enjoyed helping the teens make seed bead jewelry. Hence, my first shaker card emerged. I discovered playing with these beadlets isn't as fun anymore - poor eyesight in my old age!!!! 2 hours later, this card is finished!!! Anyone want to come over and help pick up? I have them all over the floor!!! And this is not an "embellished" fish story!!!
Thans for looking!!! (Please!!!)

Great card, I love the color of the fish. I usually do it in blues and purples. I need to try on orangy one too! Love the brightness of the whole thing!

Great idea Christine! wonderful interpretation of the piece! I can just imagine your floor! I seem to do that with any 'many pieces' items I use lately!
Wonderful colors on this - and love the beaded sentiment thread!

Fantastic way to interpret the inspiration challenge. something in the shaker line was my first thought as well...but I didn't attempt it. Your perserverance really paid off, this looks marvelous. Great job Christine.
