FAKE FISH & FOOD
So, here is what happens: we are on an overseas buying trip with some specifics in mind, but then "OMG - look at THAT" (or THOSE) - and there we go - something that is so cool that just screams "take me, take me", and of course we do!
The Fake Fish are one of my personal loves - I have a string of them in my studio, another string at the office, a couple individuals in an old fishing creel & a half a fish miraculously emerging from the hallway ceiling.
Other faux foods also catch our attention, as do a variety of other "open market" type goodies that just beg to be included in some type of design, decor and/or artwork.
