On the aquatic theme, I started this project, Redfish, ages ago, but it has since gone on the backburner with shifting house and the race to finish off the Killer Angelfish before the little one arrives.

But it’s getting there…

Apparently people under six months old really get into black and white objects and imagery - all this after spending months making the crazy colourful starfish mobile - so I have decided to make the little one a beautiful killer angelfish to hang above the bassinet.

Here’s how it’s going so far, it’s just based on a wee sketch and is of course a bit of an experiment…

I hope she likes it - I do and it’s not even finished yet, only a couple more hours…

So far for the cushionstar mobile I have thirteen starfish, and four more near completion, I have about a gazzilion colours to choose from, as far as the felt goes, and so things have been getting a bit out of hand.  I am fast using up my beads as well!

Here are some recent photos…

I do like the undersides of these little ones.

And of course, after a few starfish I wanted to try a little seadollar, a little tricky as far as creating the segments, or the appearance of there being segments, but overall it came out ok.

An old flatmate had this cute little parcel sent to us a week ago - just so cute I have to post a photo, or two!
