Description
I've had the this fish done for some time, but never took any glamor shots - till today. The fish was carved in a very wet piece of palm. I taught myself how to tie the float and wire it with a red LED, powered by a 9-volt battery (see panel on back). I'm no electrician, but it works and really looks great in low light settings (pics soon). The teeth were inspired by a friend of mine (he has a painting with a custom frame that used the thorns), the teeth are actually the thorns off a Washintonian Palm. Those suckers are sharp. I made the fins so they can be removed. I love this piece! Number 2 is already in the works. Originally I had made a mug to be placed in its mouth (representing a "lure" tongue), but after a trip to Fort Myers I had a new solution. While shell hunting on the Gulf Coast I stepped into these clam shells. They are in excellent condition and still connected - They fit perfect!
