Princess Fish Media Mail Art
I cut an 8" fish shape out of chip board
I used LISA KETTEL'S pink swirl Cupie paper and tore little pieces to create the scales of the fish
I had an aqua paper and tore it into little pieces to add the blue for the fins
I decoupaged the pieces to create the scales and worked from tail to head
I cut the crown out of the paper, decoupaged it to a second layer to add structure to the crown , then attached the crown with decoupage glue
I attached a 1/2" google eye with hot glue
 

Enjoy!
