SEQUINS!!!

Looking great!

Yes, put sequins on, sequins are great! Although they'd have to be sewn on well so that they don't fall off....because then you might have a walrus or something eating it..



It's gonna look great!



some people have all the luck....

Buttercup is beautiful.
Is she a walrus?

 

[Synirr]

Those are some awesome pics!! I love Buttercup!

 

[littlefishie]

Yep, Buttercup's a walrus.. she's a very affectionate one too, she just loves having her face rubbed. When I go in on Wednesday I'm going to try to get more pics of her being her cute self.. not to mention the harbour seals!

 

[One_Trick_Pony]

great photos and the custome looks fab babes

 

[guppygirl]

I love buttercup!!! She is adorable!!


Love the costume too, good job!

 

[BettaMomma]

Oh my gosh - I LOVE that blind guy.
You will have to make sure to tell him about my little blind guy

How exciting for you!
I can't wait to see the costume!

Dang, talk about a dream job...

Oh, and buttercup is ADORABLE too.

 

[Angry_Platy]

Thats fantastic littlefishie!! I can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Just to let you know, I was "kicked out" of sewing class in school for a few reasons :

1. Couldn't sew a straight line
2. Made a pair of shorts and sewed the back left to the front left....OOPS
3. Broke all the crayony things sharpening them
4. Put a sewing machine needle RIGHT through my finger
5. Put the needle in the sewing machine the wrong way so that it went flying out the sewing machine and broke a window

I recently inherited my grandmothers sewing machine which has one of those computer card thingies and all these weird attachments that I have no idea what to do with. I am too scared to take it out of the box let alone use it.

How in the hell did you manage that?

Great news, I managed to take even MORE pictures today at the official orientation.. I'm about to Photoshop 'em and post them.. I got some of the beluga whales, and some absolutely fantastic shots of Echo the female dolphin.. she's so gorgeous and affectionate, when I was next to the tank taking shots of her she swam right up to the edge and nudged my hand with her nose cos she wanted to be petted! I spent the next half hour just playing with her and getting her to do tricks, which she did happily for a friendly pat rather than a reward of herring goodness!

Gawd, I love my job.. Oh, and the first costume is almost done.. just have to finish one more buttonhole on the pants, and then sew on the sequins. That's right. I got sequins

 

[Jen]

Yay for sequins!

Sequins are awesome!

 

[littlefishie]

I agree, sequins are amazing! I have blue sequins and red metallic beads, to go around the cuffs of the sleeves and the pants.

And now for the pictures! I'm sorry there aren't any of the killer whales, but they were splashing so damned much I didn't want to risk getting the camera out.

I did get the belugas though:

My two fave shots:

And the dolphins! Today they enjoyed staying still for the camera.. I have pictures of Storm, Echo, and Tulo.

Those are all Storm and Tulo.

And this is Echo! She's my new baby girl, she is a thousand times more affectionate than Buttercup, and 100% less whiskery. She just loves attention, she swims right over to the edge of the tank when I come near it, and refuses to leave until I rub her nose.

There are 7 pictures of her that turned out.. Gawd I love this girl!

^^^ Not my dirty glass! It's salt streaks from when they like to splash water over the edges of the tank.

And my two fave shots of Echo..

And that's it for today for park shots! I'm going to go work on my costume for a while now, to try and finish it tonight.

I think I'm going to move the costume stuff over to non-fish photographs if that's okay with the mods, because I don't want to clutter up the fishiness of the thread with costume pictures unless it's me with a dolphin or something!

So check non-fish photographs later if you want to see more costume pictures.

 

[Synirr]

Echo is a real doll, but gosh, I just love belugas!!

 

[littlefishie]

I love the belugas too, but Echo's my girl.. Though I do have the second beluga pic as my desktop..

 

[longhorn13]

Great pics! I love it how Echo looks like she's smiling in all those pictures

 

[littlefishie]

That's one of my favourite things about her.. I noticed that Storm and Tulo get moody and can actually convey that kind of expression, but I've never seen Echo upset! She never fails to grin, and the second I whip my camera out to get a picture of her she grins even more.
