My panel was to be based on a fern leaf which my daughter had admired at a hotel, but as usual things changed along the way and the fern leaf drawings became the skeleton of a fish which became fishes. I thoroughly enjoyed producing the panel as I dyed lots of fabric to get the right shade of blue for the sea, measuring and recording the amounts of dye powder used. The stitches used were simple backstitch, fly stitch and laid work, using variegated threads for the effect of light n water.
