Once again the text block was very useful to create lines easily - this block is proving to have many applications!

This fish needs a title, like "the thinker," or "the calculator." Initially when I was carving this block, this fish began upsidedown. His eye was droop, but his gill fins were more appropriately placed. The furrowed brow and strong jaw give him such personality, however, that I flipped him over - also the reason he is swimming from right to left rather than left to right......think about it.......................
Visually, this page spread works for a couple of reasons. First, the orange of the left hand page is balanced by the orange tag peeking out of the green envelope. The orange ribbon at the top of the left hand page, for a previous page's tag, helps this balance. The green ribbon peeking out at the side of the left-hand page helps the green of both the pocket and the green pocket-page that follows, be balanced. Purple is similarly balanced between ribbon, portions ofr pages, and snouts of fish.
