A Painted and Patterned Portable Home
Sea urchins, are typically spiny, globular animals, echinoderms in the class Echinoidea. About 950 species live on the seabed, inhabiting all oceans and depth zones from the intertidal to 5,000 metres. Their tests are round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 cm across. When they die, they leave behind some of the most beautifully coloured and patterned shells which are so delicate and fragile that you have to be so careful with them when you transport them.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “patterns in nature” was chosen by Cheryl,
It seemed most appropriate to use this wonderful collection of sea urchin shells that I have, with their stripes and nobbles, to represent the theme for this week.
