Best Fishes!

By Mel Burns

Materials Required:

Fimo: Bright Blue, Turquoise and Translucent.

Fish shaped cutter (optional).

A 7mm joggle eye.

Tracing paper and a pencil.

Fine tipped Black marker pen.

Cream Parch Marque card 9cm x 9cm.

UHU Glue (black top).

Card mount: DE09U-27, Bright Blue.

To Make The Card:

Glue the cream card behind the aperture and

glue the card mount closed.

With clean hands, knead a walnut sized piece

of translucent fimo until pliable then roll into a

short sausage.

Knead pea sized pieces of bright blue and

turquoise, and roll them into sausages keeping

them apart. Washing your hands between

colours will help to keep them pure.

Put the three coloured sausages together

keeping the translucent between the colours

at this point so they don’t touch. Work the

sausages, rolling them together only once or

twice until slightly mixed for the best effect.

Roll out onto a clean, dry, flat surface to

approximately 2mm thick, I use an empty felt

tipped pen barrel as a rolling pin.

You may prefer to make a card template from

the diagram, it will be easier to cut round and is

re-usable, a great advantage if you want to make

several cards. If you are making several fish, bear

in mind that as you re-roll the fimo, the marbling

will become less noticeable. So making several

small marbled batches is usually better than one

large batch. Bake the fimo following the instruc-

tions on the packet and allow to cool.

If you have a fish cutter, cut out the fish

placing the marbled stripes to best advantage

within the fish shape.

If you don’t have

a cutter, trace the fish

from the diagram and

cut it out. Place the

tracing over the fimo

using the marbled

stripes to best effect

for the fish. Cut the

fimo round the traced

shape.

Actual Size

Glue the fish onto the centre of the cream card

and the eye onto the fish using UHU glue (super

glue is better for protecting the eye against any

knocks it may get, but it needs a great deal of

care whilst using).

Using a fine black pen draw small wriggly

lines for the sea and a few bubbles coming from

the fish, I have added a little shell as well. Finally

add the Best Fishes! (or wording of your choice)

under the aperture.
