To make the fabrics look "watery" I used plastics and chiffons that reflect light, distressed the chiffons so they look like air bubbles and used different coloured layers for different depths of water. The frayed edges show water movement. I added seed stitches and fly stitches to resemble coral

This is very beautiful! I like to do mosaics too :-)
How incredibly beautiful. I've been thinking about doing some watery surfaces with felt, and I love the solutions you came up with - brilliant!
This is lovely!
You have some lovely textures here Carolyn. I am really interested in layering fabrics in this way. I've just done a little of it and know that it's not easy to get the effects you are after. Lovely mosaic.
I want to dive right in. Love your mosaics, love your stitching and love your selection of textures, fibers and fabric. A beautiful work of art!
I will have to check out the book....the pictures are very inspiring....
Your second tutorial on making beads is excellent, Carolyn! Perfect pictures and nice straight-forward instructions.
Oh, these are really beautiful compositions on the watery theme - you make the textiles come alive, Carolyn!
Your work is really inspiring and you are very giving of your techniques. A really inspiring blog. Thanks so much. Suzanne
