Holding the Coral Reef in Your Hands

Sometimes I walk along the beaches and I think about the absolute beauty of what is so hidden from us.  The world that we don't see if filled with fish and living coral as beautiful as one could only imagine.  I love to snorkel in the Caribbean, but also so lucky to be able to live near the beach.  I made this silk fiber bowl from 100 percent silk fiber and strengthened by a stabilizer.  I then was able to add small yarns and pieces of thread to the coral reef and also small little limpet shells that I gathered off the beaches of Barbados.  I can hold the memory of those days in my hands now and it takes me back to the beaches that I so love.
