Abstract Thursday 34 Flying fish
I had very little time today to put something together for AT34, so I decided to photograph another of the charming beaded decorations given to me by Zeus09s mum. Today was the turn of the fish: I've shown the original as an extra. I did the usual variety of changes: 'Twirl' and 'Solarise' in PS to change the colour and form, then some other little tweaks in Picasa. I would have preferred more time to produce something a little different from my previous efforts but I quite like today's result.
I've since learned that these beaded decorations are made by children in Mexico, some as young as 7 years old. The Hummingbird featured on Tuesday was made by a 12 year old.
