Continuing our look at things that live in the waters that surround Bunbury and appear in our felt creations; one of our favourites is the beautiful elegant sting rays that can sometimes be seen sunning themselves on hot afternoons in shallow water.

This shoal of fish was made by Sue Seaman. Each fish is about 80 cm long. The felt was hand dyed to get the right colour and then machine embroidered to give the effect of scales. The fins and tails were made from organdy; again machine stitching was added. Each fish had a metal wire inserted into the body and held by a block of wood.
