This is my codfish project as it looked on May 1, 2015. (Alternate title: Codfish on Umbrella Table.) I am decorating this wooden codfish for the Marblehead Arts Festival. Fifty artists were given the same wooden fish cutout and their codfish creations will be displayed in Marblehead and then auctioned off. I have been covering my fish with silver paper, and at the time I took this photo, had finally finished putting the silver paper around the edges of the cutout. To be continued. . . .

Like some 50 local artists, I am busy decorating a wooden cutout of a codfish. This is a fundraiser for Marblehead Festival of Art. All of the decorated codfish will be shown in Marblehead and then auctioned online. This year, my codfish will be decorated with a surface design of seashells, taking the place of fish scales. You can see the whole design (still in progress) posted here Apr. 24. Yesterday I made the first pass at applying gold lines on the seashells. But I decided that the overall effect was too dark; I wanted the gold lines to be thinner so there would be more white area. So I am repainting the shells, which is slow going. They are pretty small. I think I reworked six rows today. Here are the first four rows I repainted. There are still mistakes to fix, but I already like it much better. To be continued. . . .
This is a "life-size" working sketch for a decorated wooden codfish cutout that I am making, to be auctioned off for the Marblehead Festival of the Arts. Some 50 local artists have been asked to participate in this project. This year I am will decorate my codfish with musical scales -- C scales, to be specific, which is why I named my fish Cecelia. Yesterday I posted this pencil sketch, inked in silver, gold, and turquoise sharpie pens. Today I went over the fold and silver with fancy metallic gold and silver ink pens and they really do make a difference. (Metallic sharpie gold tends to read as brown and the silver tends to read as gray). These pens are harder to control than Sharpies, but it will be worth it for the added brightness. This is a working sketch, and it has been helpful to do this "dress rehearsal" because I have identified some things that I want to improve for the final version. if you want to get an idea of I am going with this, follow this link to see "Bella Bacalhau," last year's entry: www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/26803421380/
Traditional Bermuda Codfish & Potatoes (something of an acquired taste!).

โSacred Codโ
Representing a New England codfish
By unknown artist, ca. 1784
Pine, painted, 10 ร 59ยฝ in.
โขGiven by John Rowe, March 17, 1784.
The Cod was given by John Rowe, a prominent merchant and representative from Boston, and installed in the Old State House โas a memorial of the importance of the cod fishery to the welfare of this Commonwealth, as had been usual formerly.โ This is the second carving of a New England codfish to preside over the General Courtโits predecessor presumably lost during the Revolution. By this time, the image was a familiar one, appearing on everything from corporate seals to weathervanes and stairwell decorations. New claims to fishing rights both coastal and on the high seas, however, strained negotiations with England for years, and undoubtedly fueled Roweโs desire to reinstall the simple yet potent emblem over the heads of his fellow legislators.
When the new State House was inaugurated in 1798, there seemed to be no question whether the simple carving would follow the General Court to Beacon Hill. Installed in the House (current Senate) Chamber, it continued to symbolize the importance of the sea, and the fishing industry in particular, to the survival and prosperity of the Commonwealth. The Cod was transferred to the gallery of the current House Chamber in 1895, where it continues, โriding serenely the sound waves of debate, unperturbed by the ebb and flow of enactment and repealโฆโ

This is the wooden codfish that I am decorating for the Marblehead Arts Festival as it looked on Friday. Although there were still decisions left to make about the details project, I was ready to get started. I drew in lines for the body of the fish, and then started cutting and pasting strips of silver tissue paper. This doesn't look like much yet (or if anything, it looks like duct tape!), but the silver paper does reflects the light. And I know from my trial runs that the markings in bright colors and the gold accents will make a difference.
Apparently, this codfish and noodle dish is famous in Shanghai. The broth was like a superior version of Campbell's chicken noodle soup.
Please be aware... I am no stamp expert. Posted titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of type or variety, but I try not to double post any single items. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.

This is a wooden codfish that I am going to decorate for the Marblehead Festival of Arts 50th Anniversary Celebration. I am among fifty local artists who are going to decorate one of these wooden fish, which will then be displayed in Marblehead and auctioned off. Last week I drove over to Marblehead to pick up my wooden codfish. It was wrapped in plastic when I picked it up. As I was unwrapping it back home, I remembered that as a kid, I was used to seeing fresh fish wrapped in newspaper. So before I started decorating this fish, I decided to kick off this project by taking a photo of my wooden fish against a backdrop of newspapers.
