I think “the Dimensionality of the Fish” needs to be put on a t-shirt design! 😂 I love that design! The half shell fins are genius! It’s such a beautiful finished piece, it reminds me of Cartier’s jewellery from the thirties and forties that featured onyx and coral. Awesome work!

@@TheClosetHistorian that is so cool! You’re very lucky indeeed! I was always blown away with their carved emerald pieces - when you realise how brittle emerald can be it’s doubly impressive (I trained as a jewellery designer/craftperson, so I got to learn that side of it!) I feel that Cartier became a lot less interesting once that design side dropped off. Not that I’d turn down a piece if it were offered to me though! 🤣

Love working with beads and felt and I wonder if you were able to design koi kits that could be assembled by others and sold as hobby kits if you could get an income as the initial designer of the kit. These could be as you said used for so many decorative purposes. You are a wonderful designer and teacher and if you could design kits that others could do the assembly work for it would be wonderful for you if you could get a nice income for it while you go on to create other dreams!
