One of my colleagues has a son graduating from a local school this summer, and they have a "under the sea" theme for their commencement celebration. He wanted a jacket to wear for the event. I had a lot of fun decorating this one for him.
To make the background scene, I sponged various shades of green paint on a sprig of juniper bush and pressed it against the fabric with newspaper. To make the "coral", I used a sprig of lambs-ear with fuchsia and white paint. The fish are actually cut from fabric that was designed to look like peacock feathers, with pieces added on to make fins.
This was a really fun, fast project!
