I was so excited to be able to play with my new {Ippity} stamp set - Fishy Philosophy! (Thanks sweet Kelly)
I stamped the coral in Sahara Sand and then used stickles on it to get it all sparkly.
For my little fishy, I used Prismacolor pencils, blended with Zest-it. It's from England, and it is totally non-toxic, natural, and smells like oranges. It was my first time to try it and it blends beautifully. I had read about it on another art site and it was a well done impulse buy
I used the circle die for my bowl, and then cut another circle for the water, and finished the water with my new fave wave die from Cat's Pajamas.

I've never heard of Zest-it. If it's a UK product it's bound to be available here, I'll have to look. Mind you, I need to finish off my Sansodor first. Love the wavy edge to the bowl. This reminds me of a lovely glass bowl I inherited from an old lady - it's shaped like a traditional goldfish bowl, but is coloured glass (she had a blue one too, but I got the brown one), and little silver fish and seaweed are inlaid on the outside. It's a bummer to take a photo of.

Lydia, what a treat to have you at the teapot party and for such a noble occasion. Helping cheer up our little Dante we heard from Bev! He will just love this fishy in his bowl. TFS
