Dawn T Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I've been persona non grata online of late because I've been busy getting ready for a craft fair I'm participating in this coming September. Toward that end, I've been designing new beading patterns, and I ended up doing a few that are aquarium themed. I couldn't resist! So I want to show them off. Angelfish & Cardinal Tetra Bookmark (I hadn't put the ends on it yet) "Fishy Fishy Fishy" bookmark (I didn't go for realism on fish colors on this one - it's just for sheer fun) The box that matches it: Pen covers I did some that are dog-themed as well, and a couple that are cat/fish themed, but those are the fish-only ones. So far, anyway. I have ideas for more. I'd like to do another angelfish one - with black marble angels, but I haven't decided what sort of schooling fish I want to include on that one. 🙂 Anybody else doing aquarium/fish themed crafts? 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Nope but those are amazing! Love the angel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plutoids Mom Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 An aquarium themed quilt would be so much fun! If I ever get quilting time again (ha!), that would be something for the next project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORD but I love those bookmarks, especially the one with the angelfish and the cardinal tetras! You are quite the artist @Dawn T! Here comes the pun: Have you noticed the beady eyes on some of those goldfish?😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many old scrub tops with water themes - fish, dolphins, seahorses, jellyfish, manatees, sharks, otters, sea turtles, old shipwrecks, etc. I’ve saved them up over the years wanting to do a quilt, but I need to find a pattern I want that’s not too difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Those are beautiful. I couldn’t tear myself away from my fish long enough to craft anything. I turned my once craft room into a fish room…now the room that houses my crafts is slowly becoming a fish room too. My crafts are waiting to get squeezed out of their last remaining closet. You are very talented. 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn, those are great! Really neat how beads capture the sparkle of fish. I do hand embroidery and have a fish kit or maybe two (can't keep track of the stash) waiting to be stitched, but I'm currently working on another project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn T Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 @PineSongYou'll have to show us the fish projects when you do them. I'd love to see them. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
