After I had finished my Underwater postcard, one of the women from work wanted a larger version which she could frame. She and her husband are scuba divers, in fact her husband is an underwater photographer. I found the larger version quite hard to do because everything had to be on a larger scale. The finished picture measures 7 1/2 inches wide by 9 inches deep. It had a lot of glittery threads but although the scanner kill off the sparkle, it shows the threads and stitching clearly. The second photo was taken by digital camera so it has captured more of the sparkle and shows the silk paper backing behind the blue/green/turquoise dyed Tissuetex.
