Sea Life

A brightly coloured underwater scene: blue dolphins against clear water, with corals, anemones and little fish filling the borders in pink, orange and yellow. The drills are placed one by one on the adhesive canvas, following the printed symbols — a repetitive, calming activity that needs no stitching experience and can be picked up and put down at will.

It helps to peel back only a small section of film at a time and to roll a book or a rolling pin over the finished area so the drills sit firmly. The frame is not included: at 28 × 35.6 cm the picture fits a standard 11 × 14 in frame.
