Sea Fan

This picture is of a piece of black sea fan, found on the beach. (sea fans are protected under CITES but this is a broken piece that washed up and was left on the beach, so no international treaties were broken in the making of this blog post).

Anyway, we thought the pattern was fascinating (we do some of our best thinking after a lunchtime mojito...) Strangely for something found on the coast in summer, it looks like bare trees in winter. And the pattern and colour would be ideal for the new bedroom curtains we are planning - so if you know of any cream and black fabric with a pattern like this, please let us know!
