Mock Salmon

We’ve had enough turkey talk, so lets talk salmon. This amazing fish has quite a place in history. Salmon lore crosses cultures from Native American to Druids, with the traditions of preparing this fish spanning from grilled to gravlax.  And of course, there is the color.

No matter what we are describing, umbrellas or dishes, if it’s this color we refer to it as ‘salmon’ colored.

I am in the ‘oh so early’ process of preparing salmon in The Cardboard Kitchen. No grilling or gravlax with this version. This salmon will be baked whole.

Part of this early process includes painting subjects before I construct them in cardboard. This gives me a feel for the form.

So how do I plan to translate this intricate, beautiful and complicated fish form from this pile of cardboard:

into this fluid, shimmering shape?

I couldn’t guess right now!
