This piece is by Heidi Boldt Diefenderfer, who is an accomplished doll-maker as well as braider.  She made the mermaid on a braided and felted background, embellished with jewels… from a Shipwreck?

Jill Temple made a beautiful and colorful fish.  Made of two bowl-shaped halves that are united into a fish-body, the fish sports sparkly scales pulled through the loops and applique eyes and lips.  I wish I had a photo of the cute tail, also!

This charming oyster with a pearl was made by Lucinda Harrison-Cox.  Look at how she mimics the rough oyster shell with the different textures of fabric in the braids.  (It opens up, too).

Pam Rowan made this enormous rug of Ocean Waves.  Wow!  The squares are perfect, and the border is perfect… a large and beautiful rug.
