The Cornish sea - really!
Ta da!
Well it may not look like much to you, sunshine, but that, my dear, is a very big step forward.
That is the sea off the Cornish coast, storm tossed and filled with fabulous creatures like snakelock anemones, brown velvet crabs and tompot blennies. And mermaids of course. Work in progress; creating oceans takes time, y’know.
It’s the wholecloth background for my next major work, to be called Pearls of Wisdom, sitting in its second dye bath prior to wash out. This piece has been in my head over a year and with design sketches on paper for about six months, so it’s about bloody time I actually started on it.
It’s not finished art, but it is a big step symbolically. Yay for progress at last. Huzzah for AEDM day 1!

Congratulations, Fiona! I’m looking forward to seeing more during your Giant Month-o-Art (I’m from the US and have been unduly influenced by late-night infomercials – sorry, can’t be helped). Your post about how to move past obstacles was fantastic – thanks for sharing.
My eyes could feast on that gorgeous blue. Yay for progress!
Yay for comments! Thank you Claire & Lisa for dropping by… folks, Lisa is also doing AEDM so do follow the link behind her name to see her fun drawings too.
“Giant Month-o-Art”! I love it!
