THE FISH IS DONE!!!!... well almost

To go from this: To this: Is so cool! And I'm not even a week past my deadline, pretty good since for the majority of this fish project I was working 2 jobs and going to school! Imaging what I could crank out if I wasn't crazy busy!

So the biggest, most time consuming, most important part, the caps, are done! There are only the finishing touches to do. I need Kevin's help to remove the rest of the nails that are poking through the back side of the fish:

Can you imagine stepping on that? OUCH!
Also fabric needs to be attached to the back side to hide all the nail ends, as well we need to devise some sort of way to hang it. I'm thinking two eyelets screwed in the back with strong wire between the two, much like how paintings are set up to hang. If this were to be an outdoor fish, or one that I would be selling I would probably spray the caps down with a weather proof sealant. Then last but not least -- The bottle cap fish needs to get hung on the wall! The place I was going to put it, between the stove top and the hood, is not going to work, the fish is just a tad too long, so it will hang proudly above the interior window we have between the kitchen and the living room.

Here are some more shots of the fish in its last stages and once finished. Enjoy!

The face is almost done.

Space for one more cap!
