This month we were challenged to take a photograph of something and create something inspired by it. For those among you with sensitive souls, I have to warm you 'cause what I'm showing is not a pretty sight...Regular blogreaders know that I have been on a hunt for fish lately. I have been looking far and near for plastic play fish, lures, moulds,... but have not had much succes.
Therefor, a real fish is in order!
It's not the head that's important...
It's the tail that I need! 
So, I moulded half of it...
And then pressed porcelain clay in it.
I hope that Anna, my collaboration partner,will be able to use it in her creations...
I must admit that I had a different picture at first but the end result didn't work out the way I wanted. Hopefully I can still show that sometime later...Want to see what other merriers made being inspired by a picture of something?
Hop over to their blogs to see! :)

So nice to see where people get their inspirations from.

Wow! THis is amazing! I saw your "warinings" about gross post yesterday and thought, what on earth are you up to now :) But this is not gross at all! :) Super fabulous!
I think the fish tail turned out really well. Beautiful!
inspiring use of a dead fish! I love how the clay piece makes me thing of wings, and the victory statue in the Louvre: http://parisfrance.ca/images/wingedvictory.jpg

Fish is not gross, it is delicious!
And the tail turned out great! Though it doed also look like an insect wing..
Do your fishes come in wrapping? That's so weird! Here's how we buy our fish:

Nevertheless, love the fishie tail :)
Hehe Ana, it is a smoked fish. We can buy our fish fresh too. :)
Wow!
It's wonderful the way you get from what is not a pretty sight indeed to what looks like a fairy's wing!
It definitely looks like a wing! Very pretty! Does it smell? ;)
Love the details, although it more reminds me of a wing :)
Love the way the fishy tail came out Mitsy! very, very creative :)
Love it! Making something beautiful from something not so beautiful. I wonder if you could incorporate a "scratch and sniff" feature :-DDDD Remember to show us the final collaborative piece when it is done!
I like it.
It reminds me of a an angel wing.
Never thought you would find that in the frigde
Oh, I love it... I can see jewellery, of beads for headwear... brilliant!
I absolutely love this! It's really beautiful :) (I wondered what you wanted the fish for!)
Mitsy, I often crave fish too! But I think that fish tail is going to turn out fantastic--what a brilliant idea!
wow, a real fish you used, nice idea! :)
So interesting! The fish tail is gorgeous after you made it!
Wow, it made a lovely mold. Great idea.
How cool!!!
Loving this!
