My Challenge, Favorite Places

Well, I of course had to use the ocean, and a sea turtle`s favorite place. I fused pieces of fabric onto the blue and sand colored fabric. Then started on all hand work. I want this piece to be completely hand finished, so am still not quite down. I still want to add a beaded sea turtle and lots of goodies to my treasure chest, but just didn`t fit the time in before our reveal. This piece may not be done for months, I keep finding things to add to it. I couched different textured yarns and threads for seaweed, and embroidered even more for dimensions. This challenge was very Challenging. :)
