Hah, made you look!G
Just kidding. In another thread, Chris
mentioned that at a kid’s fishing event,
they let the kids make prints of their fish
on T-shirts. It’s an intrigueing process I
had seen while living in Hawaii where fresh
fish were painted with tempura type poster
paints or fabric paints and a print made on
rice paper or fabric. It is called
Gyotaku. Some of the examples I saw while
in the islands were really very pretty and
it was something I filed away in my memory
banks to try one day. Chris just awakened
that memory for me and I’d like to give it
a try.
Obviously, the fish would have to be one
that you were keeping for table fare. But
the process seemed to be relatively simple
and within the capabilities of most of us.
A quick Google search shows a good bit of
info is available, complete with how to’s
as well as some very artistic renderings
that could grace any wall.
I was wondering who among us may have
tried Gyotaku and if you have any advice or
words of wisdom to offer. Particularly any
lessons learned the hard way. I’m looking
at making a colorful red eared sunfish to
grace a bit of wall space over my tying
bench.G Warm regards, Jim
