I found some marine books in the library which contained so many beautiful photographs of the underwater world!
The sea is a massive open space , however about scientists conclude that only 30% of our oceans have been discovered!
There is a massive proportion still left to find!
A couple of years ago I went to see 'The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef' in my hometown of Dublin.
It was held in the science gallery.
This textiles exhibit is not only a reflection of textiles in art but it is also a plan of scientific and marine awareness. The reef was constructed by Margaret Wertheim and her sister.
Wertheim is a science writer and is from America.
The reef is constructed using tons of different types of wools , recycled plastics , cans ,twines ,buttons , you name it!!
The reef is all completely handmade by groups of women which Wertheim wanted to include in the project. The reef took six years in total to create.
