Water's Edge: Spring

"Free man, you will always cherish the sea!
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul
In the infinite unrolling of its billows;
...
O eternal fighters, implacable brothers!"

- Charles Baudelaire Man and the Sea (translated by William Aggeler)

The words from this poem express the mysterious allure that the sea holds for man. The often antagonistic relationship that has long existed between man and the sea has inspired numerous poems, novels, paintings and many other works of art.

This fascination with the sea in general- and its creatures in particular- is also evident in fabric. Nowhere is this more noticeable than in Water's Edge: Spring. This is a delightful decorator fabric that will compliment virtually any decorating project you have in mind. The design consists of  scallop, conch, mussel and other marine shells strewn over a cream background. The shells are a light guava color with green accents.
