Three fishy teapots. Each is made entirely of stitched threads, free-standing, and hollow. Like any teapot, these have a spout (mouth), handle (tail), and lid (dorsal fin). Unlike most teapots and fish, these prefer to stay dry.
Flip Flop Fish
The first fish is made with metallic silver threads and pieces of repurposed CDs. The CDs catch and refract light, reminiscent of the scales of a living fish. The eyes are made from CD hubs.
