Sleep just didn’t want to happen in this wild and windy night tonight, so I distracted myself and made this collage.
Layer upon layer of golden fossilised fish..
(this is taken from a scan of a Mene rhombeus, which, according to Bristol University (take a look at their brilliant cabinet of curiosities), is a beautifully-preserved fossil fish from the famous Monte Bolca (or Pesciara) site, in Verona, Italy, from some 50 million years ago!)

Settle and Chase 
What’s it made of?
HI Scilla, I’ve updated it above – it’s made from a single scan of an fossilised fish..
Very cool!
Thank you for the link to the “cabinet of curiosities” great site for collecting ideas.
It’s great isn’t it! Glad you liked it!
That’s very cool, Cath. My first thought was insects, wings, moths… I love that it is a fossil fish, still multiplying! : )
HI Karen – yes the shapes are very wing like – more than fish-like somehow!
A fascinating layering Cath, such a beautiful golden mosaic. Do hope you fell into sweet dreams after this!
Thanks Patti, yes it seemed to do the trick and I soon nodded off afterwards!
I love it that you’ve given the fossil another story. Hope you get some sleep tonight though.
Thanks Richard, yes swimming once again!
Beautiful. Thought it was silk at first.
Oh that’s great Alison – I was kind of thinking of scarves and textiles patterns..
I see them-forever swimming. Gorgeous, Cath.
Much appreciated Elena!
I find this strangely compelling. There is something very trustworthy about the colors. And, the rhythm just dances.
Such a great comment, thanks Rufus!
how gorgeous! A beautiful pattern, Cath.
Glad you liked it Emily, thankyou!
Beautiful and I see you are a swimmer too.
Very cool! And a perfect title, too.
