My first love as a child and later as a professional marine biologist was always tide pools, still is. I could probably name every organism depicted here. The stones are typical of Puget Sound beaches, carried by glaciers from far away places. The stencils I used for this katazome quilt were among the first I cut when I began this art 24 years ago.
