In this underwater marine life tapestry, schools of fish drift down through a shaft of light in deep water, framed by tall sea plants and coral.
Details
- Size: 30 x 19 in (77 x 48 cm)

Hanging it
Small and tall, it suits a narrow wall, a hallway or the space beside a doorway or staircase. It arrives without a sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape to the top edge and fix the other half to a slim wooden batten. A clip rail works too, or a tailor can sew on a casing.
Woven by hand
The shaft of light, the fish and the sea plants are all woven in wool. No sketch sits behind the warp, so the composition belongs to this piece alone.
