sea peach and other life forms


There is an (ongoing) clever project in Alaska. Textile artists from around the world are being asked to send sea creatures (and surfaces) to create a tide pool made entirely of textile objects. The address for this thing is http://tidepoolproject.blogspot.com/.

Of course i HAVE to take part in this as i find the idea brilliant. I plan for several things so far i have made sea peach tonight (more about this beautiful lifeform that reminds me very much of a heart can be found here, or just google it). Its latin name is Halocynthia aurantium and it is pretty variable in shape.

The sea life is quite fascinating, and i am hoping for more time to explore it:-)
