As we spend so much time on the coast, I often come across lobster/crab pots, particularly at Selsey so I used this idea as my inspiration.
I started with a piece of fabric I had dyed for the background but as it wasn't really as dark as I wanted, I over printed the fabric first with a foam roller in a wave-like pattern and then with bubble wrap to give the impression of bubbles.
Following the workshop with Kim Thittichai I added some wave shapes created by the painted bondaweb applied to lutradur method. The completed background was then machine quilted in wavy lines.
For the crab I used dyed towelling and two real crab claws. The cage was made from plastic garden netting that I overstitched using a zig zag stitch on the sewing machine The sides were joined together with twisted threads.
