I have a fascination with the creatures under the sea and bodies of water. This fourth layer (air, earth, beneath earth/dirt, water) of living beings that we attempt to understand and connect with are abundant in snazzy outerwear. The colors and patterns you find in coral, fish, textures of sharkskin, seashells and tiny sculptures found in the smallest grains of sand offers never ending surprises and beauty. I love seeing this mysterious world brought above the water line and incoporated into design - both fashion and home.
I rounded up a few images of the finned world in homes and ponds as well as a few design objects I am loving!

ReplyDeletePleasant data for fish significant others and in addition pond mates. Heaven of fish must be spared with Pond Repair by Pondpro2000 and normal assessment so they could live long. Pond or koi pond or any kind of pond needs simply care and support. For fabulous consideration, investigate your pond time by time and curing holes.
