Seaweed

Seaweed goes mostly unnoticed by most people, apart perhaps from its smell on a hot day!  However looking carefully reveals its subtle qualities which, as a plant growing in water, are particularly suited to working in glass.

Seaweeds in Blue

Seaweeds were pressed into clay and used to make a mould. Here I have used the colours concordant with the textures to give a more underwater view of the wracks and kelps. This shows best with the light behind the glass.

Seaweed 3
Underwater Seaweed 

Redcliffe is a beautiful Northumbrian beach.  Seaweeds were pressed into clay and used to make a mould. Glass is ideal to represent underwater scenes, and the use of waves in shades of blue makes the water seem deeper and more mobile while still showing the traces of the wracks and kelps. This shows best with the light behind the glass.
