Seascaping plans
Monday, July 20, 2020
Thinking through the tide pool seascaping...
I am planning to build the seascape upward, in steps to match intertidal zones.
I have been accumulating flora and fauna for months, as I researched. I’ve arranged the fauna by zone, with the exception of sea stars, which will be sculpted in situ...
I have lichens, flocking and lycopodium to serve as flora...
I have sand, small rocks, and crushed shells to serve as substrate, and some larger faux rocks Nancy made from air dry clay...
Nancy also sent some beach-combed treasure...
I’ve also a few items gathered from nature that aren’t meant to be anything that lives in a tide pool, but won’t look out of place if I need to use some as filler...
I am waiting for one more box of supplies before I start seascaping. My friend Bill, who lives on the Pacific coast of Canada, assembled a mix of treasure for me, it is en-route now. While I wait for it to arrive I have been happily engaged in Bill’s online research assignments. :)
Wow... and I thought I researched things to death.
I can't wait to see how the build progresses! It's bound to be super interesting.
