These shells shine like mother of pearl, the photo doesn't do them justice.
Lots of seaweed and a little shoal of tiny fishes to the right.
This braid has a lovely shimmer which I was able to match to some Sassa Lynne thread and seed beads. Below that is my representation of an octopus
I wanted a stitch that would disappear into the background because I didn't want it to interfere with the patch with the shells. The stitch I used is the up and down blanket stitch and is one of my favourites and every time I use it I have to look at the instructions. But it's an interesting stitch because the second leg appears is the most impossible way. Just try it out and you will see what I mean.
Now I am block-free until I receive Gerry's block from Mary. I should probably do some housework!
