Sardine Frenzy! Annually, in July, this phenomena takes places along the east coast of South Africa. The Sardines swim up the coast in their millions, most times very close to the shore, which causes a 'frenzy' amongst the men in their boats who are after the game fish who in turn are after the sardines and the net fishermen on the beaches. Background a very appropriate whole cloth; 'predators' in the background painted using a freezer paper template; sardines are made out of fabric, hand made silk paper, painted and angelina fused onto the fabric. I did add a piece of netting over the fish before I stitched and then added a few beads.
