Here are some pattern guidelines for making your own coral reef:
Crochet Coral Reef
The idea for crocheting a coral reef has been around for several years; a driving force for this is the Institute For Figuring. Their website has a wealth of information on coral reefs, the threats they face, and the project to create coral reefs from crochet. Here are some additional websites with pictures, information, and patterns:
The Gainsville Florida reef information, links, and patterns
Crocheted corals on Pinterest pictures of crochet corals from many sources
This is the kind of project you can make as small or large as you like, or 'grow' it over time. Mine is rather small and mounted on a wooden plaque, but I think that it will grow :-)

How sweet a place for the little mermaid and urchin to live. I have to tell you, that I went to a craft store last week and purchased wooden supplies to make a doll bed like the one you had on your blog. I plan to paint mine, instead of stain. I just need a few hours to pop up, where I can sit down and work on it. You bring a new enthusiasm to crochet and doll making. Love to see what you are up to!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your good words, Judy. Enjoy making the bed!

Oh Beth, your work just gets better and better. How absolutely exquisite.
ReplyDeleteFiona, how wonderful to hear from you! Thank you so much for your kind words. Some of the images of coral reefs that I used for inspiration came from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

I would like your crochet reef patterns. My girlfriend in michigan would love it, so would I. I can't keep fish alive and this would be perfect.
