Gyotaku Printing

When I received some extra money for my program I wasn't sure what to get with it. It wasn't a ton of money, so it wasn't like I could get lots of stuff. I definantly wanted something special that I would not get with the budget or pay for out of my own pocket (a little too pricey). I ended up getting these Gyotaku Fish Printing Replicas from Dick Blick. http://www.dickblick.com/zz429/07/ I absolutely love asian art and have not done enough with it. These were on sale 50% off at the Dick Blick store. I am going to do these prints in conjunction with Japanese Windsocks.
Here are some links about gyotaku fish printing:
