Nikki's "Under the Sea" block just arrived yesterday and I'm on plan B already... My dolphin images (Plan A) is not going to work... With the scale of the block and the dolphin's shape, they started to look like sardines.... But I still want to work with a circular element. So I cut some generic fish from paper and started playing with the placement of them.....pretty close now... I've mentioned directional elements often but notice how important the fins are on the upper right fish... Even though it's swimming off the block, it's fins keep your eye on the circle...
Of course I don't have the right colors of beads and will have to make a trip to the bead store.... Alas...oh dear me....oh gosh! . I have LOTS of things planned for this block and am so glad that I am last.....
There you go again, off on yet another adventure with a block! Can"t wait to see this finished. Debbie (Maine)
