This is exactly how I do it!!!!!!! It is an ancient Japanese practice. They would do this in order to document different species. My brothers are fishermen so they give them to me to print. Afterwards I bury them in the garden with prayers.

Actually there are two different fish on this pillow. One is a Red Squirrel and the other is a Pudding wife. Bermuda names.
