Red Kate loaned me a pile of pre-Euro european money, including Icelandic Kronur. They all have fish on them. The rubbings are untidy, but I like the colors. Then I was thinking about earning money, and catching money, and the fishnet just sort of emerged as a good idea.
Clearly fish are important in Iceland – there is a cod, a handful of herring, a pair of dolphins, and some mysterious lumpy thing with spines on the 100 K piece. In the States we have dead presidents, and a lot of eagles and olive branches. Plus some deeply mysterious masonic symbology on the dollar bills. Some of the images on the Icelandic coins are so good I’m saving them for the next couple of days – the rubbings don’t do them justice, photography is reqid.
Family circus today. Here is Alice in a sling having worked hard on trapeze (go Alice!!) and before she was practicing standing on my shoulders.
