Gotta love Global Warming

Robin Atkins of Beadlust shares photos and gives a bit of the details behind her brother Thom‘s spectacular mixed-media quilt, Global Warming. For example, Robin says,

Thom fell in love with some turquoise disc beads and envisioned them as the centers of anemone-like sea creatures… From this thought, his idea for an under-water scene, one that suggests changes we may see with global warming, emerged. The puffs, a barnacle-like sea creature…came into the equasion because a friend had just shown him how to make these puff forms using polyester organza wrapped around pebbles and tossed into boiling water. The puffs and turquoise discs were the two starting points for this quilt.
