Need opinions! - Ornament

[faithpa76]

So, I couldn't go out and get the things I need to make the ornaments I wanted to, so I came up with this. I used about 25 yards of 1/8" ribbon.

My questions ... can you tell what it's supposed to be? And what do you think? Honest opinions please - constructive criticism is a GOOD thing. Sorry about the picture quality, I really need to get my camera fixed ...

I think it is very cute. It looks like a Beta Fishie to me. I like the colors and the way that you also used the ribbon for the tail instead of just yarn.

Hee hee ... I wasn't going for a KIND of fish, just wanted to see if people could tell it was actually a fish.

So ... I'm getting answers to my first question; I'm not sure if I want to make more or not, I want to know what people think of it! :lol I can handle "I don't really like it" - I take constructive criticism well if it's meant in a good way. ;)

I could tell right away it's a fish! To me it looks like a beautiful betta, and personally, I'd LOVE to have a school swimming on my tree.

[dogymom]

It is cute! It just needs 2 little beady eyes (from beads, of course:))

[reecie]

i like...might want to make them bigger...but it's beautiful! i agree with the eyes thought

[NurseFrawg]

I personally think that it is very very cute. I think it would look cute as a mobile in a child's room that has a sea/ocean/beach theme. I also think that a school of them on a tree would be very cute.
And to think a school of fish that you don't have to feed or clean a tank for!

My vote is for the beta fish! Really cute!!

[jenuine226]

I like it too, I totally think you should make more of them! You are so creative ... I would never have come up with using ribbons for the tail on my own ... hehehe. This would be a great project to use up some scraps/leftover yarn in the yarn stash! (Is this your own design?)

I just grabbed a couple spools of ribbon and played around with it, and that's the result. LOL! Thanks!

I agree with Elizabeth. If it is a beta, you can make it as colorful as you like.:lol

[racerose]

Looks like a fish to me. And I like it b/c it really looks tropical and makes me think of grass skirts in Tahiti. Great job!

[smyz64]

Most definitely a fish. And it's adorable! Love the tail

[Jody]

It is a fish but I don't know what kind. Killer whale it's not. It's cute and esp. for anyone who likes fishes. :cheer a cheer for you!! Jody

I see things from a fishermans view. To me it looks like a beautiful lure to catch the fish the rest of you see. I think it's pretty.

[CrochetKitty]

That's a very pretty fishie. It would be great on someone's tree in, say, Key West. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/animal/animal0083.gif

I think its a rocket, and I think its cute!

I can't help chuckling - my best friend, who used to live in MD and had a lot to do with the fishing industry - said the same thing. :D

[faithpa76]

Very interesting - that's not what it was made as, but you just gave me an idea for something else I could try and make! Thanks! :)

[buggaboosmommy]

I would have guessed fishing lure...but he is adorable!

A neat ornament for fish or cat people,Faith!

[rebeccav]

we did that last year... there was a thread where everyone posted pictures of their trees :ctree

[ladylinoleum]

I thought fish immediately too. Very cool woman!

[cazmc]

[Emily]

[jacqui]

How about a Jelly fish especially if you did another one and hung it from the top instead.

[crochetaddict033]

It's a fish!!!! And it's really cute. I bet that some kitties:cat would love to play with some as toys, and I'd hang it from my tree. :)

[MARCILEE]

Very clever. I could tell it's a fish right away! I would treasure a gift like this!

[rude-girl72]

FISH! FISH! Anyway I could luv you up into sharing the pattern? My kiddo is obssessed with Nemo and I have a wonderful picture of Nemo mobile hanging in her window for an x-mas gift!

[Lavelle26]

First fleeting thought was fish, then rocket. Then after reading everyone's posts about fish, it came back and I could see it. I do think he needs some eyes though so there won't be any mistake. I like the colors too.

[jaclim]

it's a fish! very cute, Faith! i love the ribbon tail!

[deneen]

[pampsmom]
