Seaweed motif lampshade and base in grey coloured Perspex.

Worked seaweed motif designs for rugs.

What lies beneath, what floats, flotsam and jetsam, what the sea carries in and what's found on the sea shore. These are the objects and ideas that inspired my seaweed and sand concept for 3D specialist materials. Using sandpaper and leather, perspex and cord, razor clams and copper wire, something is created. A lampshade, a bed throw, a wall panel, a rug, some wallpaper or a room separator.
