Mark C. Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I unloaded some fish today I took some junker photos with I-phone as someone wished to see them. I string them with stainless 19 gauge wire on backs The 4th photo shows the hanger holes-I put on the backs-If i'm insecure with the hangers I add glaze to attachment as sen with black glaze in 4th photo All fish are curved somewhat which is hard to see in photos-that way you can place the hangers and they look more real-I use newspaper and it burns out as well as clay supports like on that Angler fish My reds came out great today as you can see on some functional forms These fish are schooling for a 3 day show in a few days-they hang on some pro-panels Halibut -trigger fish -long nose butterfly-seahorse-orca-clownfish-angel fish-great white shark- deep water angler fish I have been lucky enough to see most of these live underwater while scuba diving of from my boat. I have photos all underwater of most all except the deepwater angler who lives very deep I have only seen Orca from boats and shore. I used to make them as realistic as possiable -now i just have fun glazing them wild I only take them to shows I know they sell at which is not everywhere (like in AZ.) All are saltwater species as I'm a saltwater guy.These will go with my tuna and a few others I have already. I have yet to make a freshwater fish Last photo is from old 2004 booth in Washington state-shows how I display them Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think I saw that choppy one at the aquarium in Maui. It makes me want to try diving! Nice fish! and I agree , the outer space plate is cool. My Astrophysicist husband would love it. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Even though the picture was small the fish hanging together was fantastic I also like the chompy one. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldlady Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 and the seahorse that is hiding shouldn't be. they are all great, but what are the stripes on the one next to the square? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I assume you mean the clownfish orange stripes which are a heavy rutile/iron glaze that likes to do bad things. It works well in this application as an orange color. It a cone 9 soft 10 glaze. I had 3 seahorses in this fire but they all did not make the photo-they are shy.
