I have been working on a commission inspired by the sea. I was asked to make a very personal scarf for a sea swimmer. Soft, not itchy but light and warm. Love of the sea, colours and texture, moods and movement, the sense of wonder and renewal from swimming, all informed our conversations. We shared a desire to get in the sea for the joy and calmness it can bring especially in cold water. Pictures were exchanged and colour experiments began in early December.
A joy to create and well received.
