Seaweed



My heart be still!!

That is an actual piece of seaweed; but looks like woven wires to me:)  I adore that it's pink.

I can't do any wirework right now. I hope this seaweed inspires you as much as it does me. Let the weaving begin!  :))

I really must find some pink wire....

  4. I took the picture directly from wikipedia. They call it Claudea elegans tetrasporangia.

    I don't think it's dyed and it totally looks like knitting or silk! :))

  5. Mary, This is amazing! I totally thought it was a piece from a knitted shawl. The design and textures are amazing. Only a mermaid could discover such a piece of seaweed!
    I am off to start weaving some wire!
