{"product_id":"salt-life","title":"Salt Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalt Life is designed to give the viewer a glimpse of the variety and beauty of the world hidden under the sea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have always loved the water.  I enjoy the beach and swimming in the ocean.   I can spend hour after hour in an aquarium and I always cherish the time I spent scuba diving and snorkling.  And because that is so familiar to me,  I am always amazed to talk with people who have never even seen the ocean and have no idea of the vast number of creatures and plants that live in the sea.  By creating under the sea art quilts, I can combined my love of the sea with my with artistic desires, and for me, it is just pure fun!  I like to give viewers something to look at the catches the eye right away and then as you begin to explore the quilt, there are more things to discover that are not so obvious.  I am not sure which is the most fun; designing the quilt or quilting it.  The quilting adds many of the less obvious details such as the different patterns in corals, or a flounder hidden in the sand, or currents in the water.  And while it is fun to create actual sea creatures it is also fun to throw in some that are just from my imagination.  I would like to think that if people realize what a beatiful and vast world lives in our oceans, they may be a little more mindful about not polluting the waters or throwing their trash in our sea.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eileen Williams \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eileen Williams \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eileen Williams \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 x 35 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal Coast Quilters Guild, Allure of the Sea solo exhibit University of North Carolina, Charlotte,  North Carolina Aquarium Pine Knoll Shores solo art exhibit \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019 CCQG Viewers Choice \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eileen Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046529749267,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/26960-salt-life-48-1625246234.jpg?v=1776145509","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/salt-life","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
