I finished The Mermaid and the Sea on Saturday. HOORAY!!!!!!! On Sunday I remembered to run the threads under to neaten the back up. Here's a picture of it on the designer's blog.
I used a wonderful hand-dyed fabric from Crossed Wing. Sunflower Samplings (I think) was at one of the cross stitch festivals in Valley Forge, PA, and they had it framed and had used a beautiful, water-inspired fabric.
It's too big to scan in one piece so I'll have to do it in parts.

Mermaid and the Sea
ARRRRRGHHHH!!!! I'm still stitching on this never-ending piece! It takes so long to get one motif done. I still have Neptune's rock, the mermaid's rock, seaweed, the clam and my initials and the year to do. I want it done in time for Woodlawn, but I have to consider all the Christmas framing that will be submitted this time of year.

More hyperbolic planes, a bleached coral, and my winning reef
Some crochet coral reef pictures
I finally got around to taking pictures of my finishes for the Smithsonian Community Reef. Here are some of them, but first is a picture of me at the 2010 Folklife Festival helping demonstrate and teach crochet.
