Ocean Inspiration

I’ve been thinking a lot about the ocean lately. Maybe it’s all the salt water I’ve been making. But seriously, I’ve always loved the ocean, the water, the ocean life, the warm sand between my toes. (In case you were wondering, it’s snowing now. It snowed last night.  Perhaps this is my Ode To A Warm Beach?)

Ernst Haeckel I’m so in love with his illustrations. The patterns from nature leave me speechless.

Hand Felted Sea Creatures from Keri Rounding in her Etsy shop.

Spring spread in Small. (say that one 5 times fast…)

Design Milk likes Coral too.

I just added Jacques Cousteau to Netflix.  I have wonderful memories of watching him under water.  I remember thinking that I would have a career around oceans.

Full Moon Forest from Reprodepot would be a great little hat or spring coat or summer pants for Iz.
