Moorish Idol

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know i did :)

Here are some Moorish Idols i have been experimenting with. I cut a large version, and then scaled them down and made them into a card for a dear friend. I think i will be using these guys again in a papercut soon.

Spiny Lumpsucker

It's a rainy morning here on the island. A perfect time to design new cuts!

Here's a papercut I made a few weeks ago for a friend. His favorite fish happens to be the Spiny Lumpsucker.

(I'm on a fish kick right now. Fish are so fun to cut!)

Emperor Angelfish

It's the weekend!!

I've been on a fish kick recently and have come up with a ton of fun fish designs. I've also started experimenting with adding more layers and color. It's so much fun to sort through all my paper to find the perfect combinations!

Did you know that juvenile Emperor Angelfish are dark blue with electric blue and white rings, while adults have yellow and blue stripes? It takes about 24 to 30 months for an Emperor Angelfish to acquire its adult coloring. (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
