Sunday Purple- Colorchallenge- Fan Coral
Broken fan coral washes up on the beach and rocks. On my recent trip to Grand Cayman I found lots of purple, yellow , and black fans. I really wanted to bring some home with me, but they were so stinky that I decided to just take pictures.
I did get to see some beautiful live ones growing on a reef when I was snorkeling. They were gently waving back and forth with all of the colorful fish swimming around that. Maybe next time I will invest in a waterproof camera.
Thanks for stopping by!
I am so jealous, to come across such colours in the sea must be amazing. I would want to bring some home too, but I think you did the right thing. Imagine the state of your luggage if you had brought it !
Everything would have smelled like rotten fish and customs probably would have taken it away from me. 🤭🐟🦀🦐🦑🐙
The printmaker in me wants to take it to press into ink to make patterns before I print more over it!
I have pressed plasticene clay into them and used a stamp pad to ink it and print with it like a stamp.
That is genius! See here is another reason I love steemit a good ole chat with a fellow artist about practical tools!
Nature's so intricate yet simply beautiful, isn't it?
A constant source of wonder! 😊
What an amazing find wowzers 💯🐒
There was so much of it on one rocky shore after a storm...all different colors. So tempting, but stinky.
Haha makes a cracking photo though! 💯🐒
