This turned out nothing like I originally intended. There are so many layers underneath what you're seeing here, ranging from torn bits of paper, Japanese calligraphy, handpainted papers, etc. The fish is an altered version of a Czechoslovakian matchbox label (#12 out of 15,000 — don't ask). Anyway, I've been in an artistic quandary of late, trying all sorts of things, and I kind of like how this looks. Of course, it's past my bedtime, I can't focus real well, so it may look horrid in the cold, clear light of day tomorrow. If you don't see this post, you'll know that I came to my senses and removed it. (Now that was mildly funny.) ©Carol Leigh
