Carrot cake is not my friend

I finished all 5 fish painted and done up for my friend, Heather. It wasn't that big of a project. I managed it in a couple hours. They look okay. I like them, I'm worried she won't. The big problem I didn't like with them is that their eyes are drilled out. So I couldn't make eyes for them really. That kinda makes them look "dead" to me. I don't know. I think she'll like them. They were plain metal to start with. I spray painted them aqua blue, then painted them with acrylic paints.
























































































Easter was fantastic yesterday. We had a lovely time. My parents and sister came over for the day. The boys had a great Easter. Today I'm putting together my easel, painting, making cards, and enjoying my 2 kidlet free days I'm having. I slept in till 7, (which is good for me) but really wanted to enjoy my day so I went back to slept till 8:30!! I haven't slept in that long in a very long time. Sad I know. It was wonderful. Have a great Monday everyone!!

oh WOW! GORGEOUS FISH!!!!!!!!!!! holy moly, you are just SO verrrrrrry brilliant at everything you turn your hand to! i kind of want a bunch of big metal fish now, how weird is that??!

ps: i think the eyes look FINE, but if it's really bugging you, could you spray paint a couple of bottle caps and then glue them together on either side of the "hole" for the eye (assuming they are big enough; but basically ANY metal discs just slightly larger than the hole would work!) (just a thought!)
