I have two recycling bags - one that has definitive scraps and one maybe this can be used for something!

So pretty and cool. It might be hard deciding what to do with the 200 fishies you might have in the end, but at least it will be an awesome and colourful collection

I love these fish! What a great way to leave an inspiring work of art for someone else to find! This is definitely the kind of project I can see myself making hundreds of as well. The fortunes are the perfect addition!

This is the kind of project I always think would make a fun swap. The type where everyone starts with the same stamp and then makes their own creations from there. It’s always so neat to see all the different ideas that come from one common variable!

I’m always inspired by your posts :slight_smile:
Your colorful collection of fortune fish is fab!
Love your idea of leaving them as abandoned art for folks to find. They will definitely make someone’s day, Nicely done!

These are a lot of fun! And I have an idea for you to spread random acts of fishiness: In France, the April Fool’s Day tradition is to stick fish on people’s backs (poissons d’avril) without them knowing. Kind of like a “kick me” sign, but not so mean. So whenever I see gobs o’ fish, that’s where my head goes. And your fish are even better since you’re bestowing fortunes as well as fun! eta: The fact that this is a French tradition and not American has never stopped my kids from drawing fish on 31 March and carting them to school to fish all their friends. lol

And now my teen daughter is singing “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes. :laughing::woman_facepalming:

I never heard of that before - I have some French parents at my school, maybe I’ll fish-ify them!

These are great. They look just like my little fortune fishies I ordered to hand out for Halloween…but better!

I just ordered a set of stamps because my school is embracing social emotional learning and I think it would be fun to have my team make enough of these for us to give one to every student. It might be fun to try to fish people on April Fools Day, but it might get too chaotic. I’m going to dig through my fortune collection and pick out some worthy fortunes… In order to make 900+, I may need to hit the photocopier :slight_smile:
