The Ten Days of Carpmas

We have been blessed with repeated snow and melt cycles resulting in a yard fulla that packed snow-product resembling styrofoam. The perfect conditions for this project!

Steps

• cut out a carp shaped stencil on heavy paper, preferably card-stock, or better yet cardboard
• squirt a table-spoon of food-colouring into a clean plant-sprayer
• add a cup of hot water
• place stencil on snow and squirt yourself some art

I chose to line my walk with this fishy design. I believe it says to the world:

“Welcome! There will be fish served here!”

"SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRT"

If it looks as if I hurried, I did. It was minus 12 outside.

Authors note: Choose whatever colour you want… but I’d stay away from colours that occur in nature, such as yellow.
