A collage of two weaving photos and two beach photos. Blues and greens and wavy, uneven shapes and textures tie them together: clockwise from top left: 1 . a rectangular Mexican Talavera tile tray with lime green and purple florals holding 10 white shuttle bobbins with different matte and shiny yarns in emeralds, limes, jewel greens, and turquoise, light and navy blues, smooth and boucles. 2 . A rocky beach with large, intense spring green algae covered boulders under stormy gray skies. 3 . Scarf width fabric on a small loom with dashes of navy blue, light blue and emerald yarn and bumpy boucle soft muted turquoise yarn. 4 . Sunset clouds with yellow highlights against a turquoise blue sky, colors reflected in ocean water swash on sand with ocean to the horizon. Trippy.
