I discarded several ideas before I settled on the idea of the treasures hidden in the seas. While working on this piece, the latest & probably greatest, man made ocean catastrophe to hit the seas was on the news. Very sad, very depressing.
The above picture is before any stitching, the background seascape, was once a shirt, the small coloured fish are fussy cut. I trapuntoed the large white & blue fish, added bits here and there to give it some life.
The threads represent those tangled things that tend to 'creep out' this swimmer.
