Button and bead mullet fish

                                                                                   

This framed mullet fish measures 18 inches long. I recently sold it at the Bowery Art Gallery (www.boweryartgallery.com) in Apalachicola, Florida.

Fabric Mandala--Tropical Vacation

Like the two previous mandalas, this one measures about 2 feet in diameter. A long time ago, I crocheted the gray lizard and heavily beaded it. Then I put it in a drawer out of site for several years. When I started making mandalas, I thought this guy would be perfect for the center. I surrounded him with bright tropical colors, both in woven fabric strips and chunky acrylic beads. I like to think that he is the one taking the tropical vacation as opposed to a tourist seeing him on his/her vacation.
