Description
What fun to play with your image, Andrea! Thank you for the invitation. Sorry to take so long to respond, but I didn't know about it until I talked to Mark a couple of nights ago and he mentioned it.
See Andrea's original drawing HERE
We arrived at our place in Texas on October 23rd, and it seems like I've been busy ever since! One of the women in my sewing group found out about an organization called Days for Girls, and we are now an official DFG group. So this year instead of making a quilt, we're sewing and assembling kits to send to girls in impoverished countries who don't have access to menstrual supplies.
You can check out the Days for Girls website at Days for Girls
I'm also making a king-size quilt for our bed. When it's done, maybe I'll remember to take a picture and show it to you! :)
FULL VIEW! I left this quite large, so make sure you see it full size.

Indeed in full size is a MUST! I love the result, it's amazing lively, and sooo happy looking, Tara(and Andrea ;-)). Also crisp and clear with the colours and drawings. How great your new sewing group is, Tara, I wish you a lot of success with it.

Inspired, Tara! I love the progression across the image, and especially the last fish on the right. Brilliant!
What a great idea your group has, something we don't often think about. And I can't wait to see the quilt!

This is really wonderful, Tara!

very cool interpretation of Andrea's drawing! I just looked up the site you mentioned - it is now on my list of groups I will send money to.

I'm coming out of semi-retirement to comment on this "pageant" variation, like the evolution of a very strange species, lol. Thank you for sending me a copy, but I decided it deserved an in-person comment, since it's so big and dramatic.
First of all, full-view it stretches off my screen---which is big---into my neighbor's apartment and out her window and into the street (where it speared 6 birds and a small squirrel). (Several Lake Michigan fish stuck their heads out of water and screamed, "Benjy!!!!!!!") But it's gotta be seen big. You did a metamorphosis from the original---with its strange miraculous "tail" (which looks like a strange new creature growing out of its fins)---to a strange new creature on the far right. The head, under your tutelage, took on the outlining of the tail, with Andrea's 'aboriginal' design coming to the fore. Andrea really went for the outlining and accents of great native/aboriginal art, with their wonderful outlining and such; the kind of stuff you see in Oceanic and PNW native art, with its amazing outlined features and concentric lines around the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. You zeroed in on some of those features, and let them morph across space, as the fish changes in its march across evolutionary time...eventually relocating the lips from face to tail. (The tail's saying, "I can see!") Then separating the body from the original head, making it a peacock-tail's 'end' to a new fish altogether! (Ie, on the far right.) And that fish---the new one---has a full eye, wonderful tribal makeup, and bright red lipstick. Wonderful invention...and that right-most fish makes the only bubbles in the piece! I also love the deep blue, and how you added your signature to hers. (They should make a font out of Andrea's signature.) Great use of signatures. Terrific transformation; full-size, it's a gas. Terrific work, Tara. Forgive my not leaving other comments: This flu took me 2 full weeks, and I'm still recovering. (I was told it's either that or pneumonia. Man, was I out of it this week.) Thanks for telling me about this; and I see Andrea loved it too, as she should.

Wow! You flashed this in my direction when you posted it on Nov 30th...but I've finally taken time to really examine it. Love the evolutionary bent to the whole thing. Of course I've read Mark's comment above...it is a gem, so descriptive of both Andrea's and your artistry...down to the way it is signed. Outstanding.
