Rainbow Fish Wall Hanging #2

The Rainbow Fish wall pieces were created from the book pages of a Rainbow Fish book ColourPuff Girl found at the op shop! This story is very nostalgic to ColourPuff Girl and to most people who were born in the 90’s / 2000’s. The vibrant colours in this book definitely influenced ColourPuff Girl’s art style on a deep level and also because she grew up in North Queensland visiting the Great Barrier Reef the ocean and fish are very core to the whimsy of ColourPuff World. 

ColourPuff Girl wanted 2025 to be a time of connecting with her special interests and trying new things. She has been saving packaging from toys and pop culture items for a long time and her goal was to keep these in circulation and make cute art for your walls out of them! Packaging is seen as disposable and a marketing strategy, but have you ever looked properly at some packaging… It’s art! It was such a joy to create these pieces which came from treasured items in ColourPuff World. The whacky post modern style of frame tugs at 2000’s nostalgia and coupled with textural yarn these recycled beauties will bring so much whimsy in to your home. In the future these will be little relics from 2025 and the beginning of ColourPuff World. A time where ColourPuff Girl was making art on a dime, learning to create more circular and recycled art whilst also celebrating special interests! It has been a year since Stardust came out on the runway at the Australian Wearable Arts Fashion Festival. “Stardust” dropped the mask and helped ColourPuff Girl embrace her queer autistic self in her art and this collection is a direct connection to the liberation of creating from autistic joy. 

-Size approximately 10x10cm but vary in size. 

-Water resistant but not water proof. The cardboard has been water sealed but still cannot be put through the wash

- The benefit of recycled cardboard wall art is that they are very light weight and suitable for renters or people who can't put nails into the wall. These are easily hung up with bluetack or plastic hooks. 

• Materials - Recycled cardboard, stainless steel backing, recycled yarn.
