The most satisfying part of the flying fish: setting rhinestone fins with tweezers, one by one.
Pick, dip, place, press. Repeat forty times.
Sound on for the tiny clicks.

Scariest step in bead embroidery: cutting the piece out of the hoop.
One wrong snip and days of work are gone. I hold my breath every single time.
Felt base, beaded top, steady scissors. Then it's free.

Took the flying fish out for a photoshoot. The rhinestone fins threw tiny rainbows on the table.
Fifteen minutes of moving it one millimeter at a time for this shot. Worth it.
Sequins for the body, crystals for the fins — it looks wet.
