actually it does look like it’s nibbling the tail! LOL! ( I know it’s not)… 

 

Would have been awesome if it actually was. Talk about your eyes being bigger than your stomach!!

I wrapped up this plate last week but couldn’t get the forum to work on my phone (where all my photos reside) until this morning. Also, the wife set me to rearranging the garage this weekend. That only took 17 hours. :default_faint:

 

Anyway, back to the nibbler.

Now that's what I'd call aesthetically pleasing!


pretty cool! I really like a natural and random association of different fish. None of them are in the same layer either. The big diplo is deepest, Cockerelites is in the middle, and the Nibbler is on top.

Wow

, amazing and love the association. I think this is one of my favorite pieces that you’ve done!

I love this piece too.

Rather disappointed that The Nibbler isn't actually nibbling the bigger fish, though. :(

Have to agree with the others.... the Nibbler is a great looking association. And excellent prep as always sir!

I didn’t have as much time to work yesterday. This Cockerelites came with a surprise bonus Knightia.

Golly, yes.

Now that you mention it, I am inclined to agree. :)

I’m getting close to the end of this large lot. I have 3 massive fish left. Wrapped up this medium Diplo yesterday and started on a slab with what looks like 2 nice Diplos.

If living fish were transparent, that's what I would expect to see. Fantastic work on such a small specimen!:JC_doubleup:
