2 LITER BOTTLE RECYCLED INTO HAND CRAFTED FISH

This 2 liter bottle that was someone's trash, is now a colorful little fish.  Why Not?  Lol.

I started molding flowers and colorful male guppies came to mind.  I'm still not quite sure what I am going to do with these fish as they do make great cold snack dishes too. Note, the paint is on the outside, so I assume it's pretty safe.  What do you think? I mounted the other pair of fish on a board.  But I am thinking a mobile fish sun catcher for these.  I'm not sure...meanwhile, today, it's a snack dish.  Lol.   I will keep you updated on it's outcome..

Colorful tail and fins.

I will keep it simple since I don't want to repeat myself.  I feel if you can imagine it on a bottle, well then you can create it.  It's all mental work, and just go from there.  However, all the magic takes place when I use Adirondack  Alcohol Inks.

An inside view.  I tell you, I love the effects of these Aidirondack Alcohol inks.
Don't you?

These inks is what gives my molded plastic the color that continues to inspire me to keep on creating my projects.

If you are interested on how I cut, mold, paint, and put together these recycled bottles, please visit my home page for a picture tutorial.
Please help make our planet beautiful...RECYCLE.
Pass this along:)  Till the next time, Many blessings.

Until I decide what I am going to make with these fish, I will enjoy my snack mix:)

"FISH LOVING FISH" WALL PLAQUE MADE OUT OF RECYCLED BOTTLES

Again when I looked at the plain clean 2 liter plastic bottle, I saw the image of fish, and went with that.  I call it, "Fish Loving Fish".  haha.  Got any better ideas?  I love my inks especially on colors like guppies, at least the male guppy is colorful.  Not fair, but so I guess I have two male guppies
here or what?  I love color?  Kissing fish is a cute idea right?  I thought so.

I blew each fish up because I liked the paint on it.  I might do an image
transfer with this snapshot.  I think it would look real nice just like this.

Let's see, I used the top portion of a two liter bottle.  Split it in half using some heavy duty tin shears.  I gave it a rough shape.  I continued to shaped it first this time before the Adirondack Alcohol Ink paint job.  Paints are not cheap and I don't want to waste any paint on something I could not use.  I mounted it on a piece of styro foam that was in some throw away packaging.  I covered it with aluminum which I embossed, and painted with alcohol inks.  I used a glue gun to adhere my project together.

Well that's it for now.  I thought I'd share my Kissing Fish since I just made them.  I hope you enjoy my blog, if not for the pics only.  Please come back, or visit my other blogs.  Just go to my home page and don't forget to share.  So till the next time...Many Blessings

This is what they looked like before the mounting.  I did cut some of the
mouth to reduce the size.

I just love the colors the inks give.  You don't have to be an artist to play right?
