Peril at Sea

By Morwenna Catt 2016
A set of delicate embroidered and beaded silk cushions displayed in a Victorian collectors cabinet lined with a copy of a 16th century map of the Mediterranean. Each cushion is stuffed with lambswool and each depicts a folkloric creature, a tale or a superstition. Here and there are fragile silk origami boats. In one corner sits a vintage wooden sail boat set with butterfly wings.
