Laurie-Sea flowers





While scuba diving with Laurie as a buddy in the Thai Gulf, She pointed out a beautiful purple anemone in the process of closing. She mimed that I could sculpt it from clay. So I have.
One of the flowers is blue on the outside and mostly yellow on the interior. The other is green on the outside and mostly pink on the inside. I wanted the flowing, fleshy feel of the anemone.

starfish take a walk






Here is a family of four starfish. They all got up and went for an assertive, happy walk.
They can be grouped in any number of stories, or placed inside each other. They make a beautiful sound when struck due to their bell-shape. The colours are gold and copper, rich earth brown and black.

Coral colony





Sorry about the colour here, but this colony of coral is a really vivid cobolt blue that shimmers as though under water. There are a few black sea-worms crawling in and out of holes, making their homes. Some of the baubles are suspended over others and there are lots of spaces in the middle. So althogh actually heavy and large, the impression is of a weightless-ness, nest of coral.
