Materials used:
- cheep grey outdoor carpet 6ft/fish
- spray paint: brown silver and black average about one can of paint per fish
- glue/guns 6 sticks of glue each
- spray mount for eyes
- 1 gutter screen folded in half to keep the salmon heads nice and stiff ;)
- heavy tinfoil for eyes
- sharpie for making the pupil on tinfoil
- String to hold up tails and tie in front give a comfy 4ft ea
- pattern: call hallie at 408 xlounge or... see below and wing it
- really good sisors... knife shears are good a roller blade with extra blades on scrap carpet is best
- tarp for painting on
- worklight for painting at night on the sly at the last minuet

to wing a pattern:
-Look at some pictures of salmon:
-draw a fish sillohett that is about 6ft tall on some butcher paper.. or that cheep carpet you bought.
- to save gluing work and make the fish stable flip the pattern over along the lower spine and make a symetrical 2 headed fish
