Bleubeard and I are back with our next journal page.
We are hosting Art Journal Journey this month and our themes are Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both. Bleubeard chose all the images after I insisted I wanted to create a page that showcased fish poachers and fish molds. I thought he did a great job.Here are a few detail shots. I hope you read the comments about the molds and poachers. Some are hilarious.
I began by adhering images Bleubeard chose to 110 lb cardstock. I remembered after I had taken about half the detail shots that I had forgotten to add the date, which I did.Bleubeard and I
are extremely pleased you visited today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Collage Fodder, Food and Drink, or both.

We do have such a double handed "Fish Poacher"!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Ingo even once made fish in that.
But usually it´s for asparagus.
I like neither, sadly.
But your page is so well done!
I feel like going to the one magazine from the 1970´s I found in our parents house...
Fun page, Elizabeth. I still have fish knives etc from my great aunt. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYou have here a lot of food, Elizabeth, meet and fish!
ReplyDeleteGood apetit :)
Have a happy weekend xx
Great images Elizabeth! I love this fishy page!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. I still remember following my father along the river banks as a child. When he caught was when we ate. And rainbow trout fresh out of the water was delicious.
ReplyDeleteThose special-purpose cooking pots and utensils are so tempting! I wish I had room in my kitchen for a real fish poacher. I do have a pair of fish servers, which are fun and practical for serving fish. I remember reading recipes for aspic or jello moulds containing canned fish, but the flavors don’t really suit current tastes, do they?

I don't think Moby Dick would fit into my oven even with a fish poacher. Smile. You are right, these are fun to read. I guess you do need to convince someone to buy a fish poacher. I wonder if people still own them. This is another fun page for AJJ. Have a great weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteFabulous page! The fish collage pieces are wonderful to look at, thanks for sharing all the detail in the close up photos 😊. Wishing you a lovely weekend! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteFun page and some of the descriptions are indeed, funny. All those different utensils to cook fish. Much easier to go to a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit fishy to me :-)
ReplyDeleteWould be so fun to have some of these and use them (not going to make a snapper mousse though) and the descriptions are super fun on some of them. Super cool collage, Elizabeth. Hugz
ReplyDeleteI've never poached fish. I always bake it when I cook, but when I go out I always order it fried.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever poached fish. Steamed, if that's the same or steam/roast but not poach. I have enough trouble poaching eggs! It's a fascinating piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about all of this. I have a set of fish knives bought as a wedding present many many moons ago but they rarely get used. We forget about them.
ReplyDeleteThe design on the one in your picture reminds me of a knife I have but I don't think it is a fish knife. I do have an old bread knife and I love it - would hate to guess how old it is - it belonged to an old aunt.
Take care, all of you
Hugs, Neet xx
I'm trying my best to catch up with my commenting! I missed this one!I do occasionally poach fish but not in such a beautiful container. This is a super page for your AJJ theme, Hugs, Chrisx
