mail art for karin (back)

Created for the "Mail Art #1 -- Open Theme & Empty" swap. I used Prismacolor markers to create a larger-than-life Crescent wrasse (Thalassoma lunare), then I folded him around a padded mailer and glued him down. (This fish is definitely male: just as with birds, they're the gaudy ones.)

The color didn't come out right in this scan: in "life" the green on body & fins is the same color as the fish: a rich apple green. And the scales are edged with royal purple.
