Improv Fish

You might recall that I’ve been stitching up improv fish throughout this year. I had intended to join in on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but I haven’t kept up with linking up, so I’m just following along with the monthly colors. I decided to make improv fish in each month’s color, using Nicholas Ball’s method in his book, Inspiring Improv.

It all began in January, with green fish.

Next came February and red fish.

March called for purple fish – they were fun, but some got a bit dark. I don’t have light purple in my stash, apparently!

April called for yellow, to add some bright colors to my otherwise dreary views outdoors while waiting for spring to arrive.

May called for pink fish, and they are all done early in the month! Woohoo!

For some reason, I’ve been making 10 fish each month, with the exception of January, when I made 12, so I have 52 fish so far. It’s going to be a lively, colorful school of fish at the end of the year. Oddly, for all the blue scraps I’m using, my blue scrap bin doesn’t seem to be getting low? Does that happen to you too?

And that’s my improv fish update – everything is going swimmingly!
