Maxine's Sailfish

This is a full-sized sail fish covered in glass rhinestones from tip to tail. It’s 9 feet long and about 3 feet tall. It hung in my grandmother-in-law’s home for over 50 years, caught by her husband in Acapulco in 1950. There is a certificate (pictured) with all of the details from the day it was caught. After Maxine died it hung in our workshop and it always made my heart sink to see it in such dusty, insignificant surrounding. This majestic creature, once glorious and thriving just… hung there, unnoticed and unappreciated. I felt deeply obligated to dust it off, breathe new life into it and show it to the world. It’s truly gorgeous.

”The photos don’t do it justice”, says every person that has laid eyes on it. The depth of the blue rhinestones is stunning and there are strings of iridescent purple stones blended into the sail which bring another dimension to the piece. I encourage any interested party to schedule a viewing in my studio. Contact me to set up an appointment or to see more photos.
