I saw Koi fish drawing by @veryspider yesterday, and remembered my fishes.
Long time ago - from 2012!
At that time, I almost always painted faces, so on my fishes was so many faces ...
I'll show 2 now, they were both sold at charity auction after the festival.
I have a third fish at home, it's still not finished - never sewed eyes and gills :)
Hier is the first one, I painted with acrylic and textil fineliners.
I have stick pieces of fabric on one side :) some hearts and flowers.
I made front and back side different:
This one have also different sides, fish tail made of painted silk.
It was collaboration work with Hisa Enomoto -
she made here background and sewing work:

I'm sorry, didn't made bether photo.
This Koinobori was an project by my Japanese friend and artist Hisa Enomoto and her friends.
I helped a little bit with workshops in the schools to paint koi with the kids.
Hisa and I cut the fabrics for the children:
After being painted by schoolchildren, they were sewn together:
And now to Koinobori Festival!
The Koi were hung in Vienna on the Danube terrain at the cherry grove. It was really such a beautiful festival!
There was a lot to see or join in ... singer, tea ceremony, origami, delicious food, archers and drummers...
I liked the drumming at most!
Thanks everyone! <3
Cheers!

What beautiful fish you made, and the event itself, it seems that you had so much fun creating and participating in the Koinobori Festival. It surprises me that they hold this event on Vienna? I thought they only do that in Japan.
Lovely post, Vesna, I like looking at the many photos you took ^_^.
