my challenge piece, finished! Tammy


I love the ocean, and all it offers. There are so many hidden treasures that we don`t even know them all. When life gets to me, it is the peace of mind and body that the warmth of the water, the soothing sounds that comfort me. If I could choose what I wanted to be in my next life the sea turtle is what I would pick. Too float along the waves, diving deep, and then resurfacing to the warmth of the sun. aaaahhhhhh peace!
That is why I chose my subject.
The film showing the changing moons with the eggs under the sand, and then the wondrous sea turtle emerging from them. I used real 35mm film on the reels, crocheted coloring for the border to remind us of the colors of the ocean.

  5. Turtles are great creatures. I like how you have used the crochet edging and the film for the 3D look. Very clever.
