If it’s not one exhibition, it’s another! No sooner than I had more or less recovered from the Edinburgh show than it was time to get organised for this year’s NEOS (North-East Open Studios), an annual event, where I exhibit together with many other local artists. The opening is this Friday, and all the preparations for it meant that I didn’t have time to do a new freebie for September. So I adapted one of the biology designs: the blue and silver fish.
The blue fish from the biology series
In the original, he was part of a large school of fish but he does quite well on his own. For the stitchout I used silver lame for the belly, which gives a really nice effect, but if you want to stitch this on something that has to be washed, maybe lame isn’t the best choice. You can also leave out the background waves if you like.

Hi Mia, I love the idea of lame for the belly of the fish. Metallic fabrics really add a lot of pizazz to a design. I have used sequin, glitter, and lame fabrics in designs that I have stitched and the results are always stunning. We are sooooooo lucky to get one of your special designs from your scientific exhibition. The waves add to the fish’s total look and allows the fish to look as thought he is swimming. Thank you for this awesome design! Gail
Thanks very much, love that he was part of your show!!! You are very generous to share it with us!
I feel so lucky to have one of your special show exhibition fishes. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Lame adds so much to a design. I’ll be keeping the waves.
