Under the Sea
Silver, blues and teals - I can't leave them alone. Under the Sea is a bit smaller than Enchanted Ocean (which has gone to a new home), at 4.4x1.4cm, and, judging by its colours, quite a bit further down the ocean!

Above the Clouds
The German singer/songwriter Reinhard Mey wrote a song many, many years ago: 'Above the clouds, freedom must surely be without limits. All fears and all worries stay down below, and anything that seemed big and important is suddenly small and meaningless'. Above the Clouds measures 4.8x1.5 cm, was wound on a 1.6mm mandrel, and has been encased in the palest sky blue. I hope it reduces somebody's worries :o)
