Well, I couldn’t let that pass, of course, so I’ve been collecting some of my more fishy designs from past years and stitching them out, hoping that they’ll eventually appear in the fishmonger’s shop. Besides these old pieces I’ve also put together a new work of two fish, which feature Mylar to give a realistic shine to their scales. I really do love to use Mylar in these designs - it adds so much visual appeal. You probably can't see it clearly in this image, but both fish have bright, shiny scales thanks to the Mylar layer on top of the base embroidery
Two fish for the fish shop
So when the framer has finished his work, I'll be taking these into Banchory and hoping that they'll find favour with the fishmonger
