Oceans Deep by Anne Watson
\n<\/strong>Sterling silver jewellery<\/em><\/p>\n

“My work is inspired by the hand coloured engravings found in Deliciae Naturae Selectae, in the case on the left, and in Seba\u2019s Locupletissimi, in the case opposite. The work focuses on the illustrations of shells and starfish and is inspired by their represented texture and form. Some of the illustrations have been copied and appear here.”<\/p>\n
