For Sale: A Galaxy Of Turquoise Pools

#75.

The second piece made from "gems" fashioned out of this piece of Matkalla Malle by Teresa Moorhouse for Marimekko (this blue version is no longer in print).

It is inspired by "the blurred images viewed from a moving car" but all I see after I've cut the round "gems" are swimming pools. Haha.

If you love wearing The Empress Dowager's New Jewels with the ruched side showing, this is a piece for you!

The colours are so serene that it's not going to give people around you dizzy headaches. Unlike some of the other crazy-coloured pieces. Tee hee hee.
