Just had to show you what I got for my birthday from my husband - rusty fish!!
There can't be too many women in the world who would be thrilled if their husband gave them something made from recycled rusty tin cans - I guess that's why textile artists are special!!
And check out the ingenious birthday tag - he has been making spatulas for christmas presents, and this is a bit of left over nicely polished wood that he - not sure of the right verb here - embossed? Anyway, took individual letters in cast metal and whacked them hard with a whacking tool. Clever, huh??
I haven't got time to put the fish out on fabric to rust before we have to leave for the airport - will do it when we get back on Saturday.

Happy Birthday Hilary
Rusty fish you lucky so and so.
Now there's a man who knows how to keep a woman happy.
so "whacking tool" would be the technical term, eh? Anyway, happy birthday to you, from another woman who'd be quite happy with something like rusty fish herself...
