Perhaps one sea creature to fill a small or irregular wall space.
Maybe several pieces to make a small ocean scene on the wall or on a canvas.
Or add enough to create your own one-of-a-kind underwater mural.
The choice is all yours. And the possibilities are endless.
Inspired by the magical Chris Ronder, Christina’s Ocean is a collection of sea life created using an original technique I developed.
I occasionally create other random pieces when inspired. My husband Wes Ripple is an award winning birdcarver who often sparks my interest in the avian world.
After 20 years of sewing clothing, followed by 25 years of traditional patchwork, it took me three more years to perfect my new technique using most of the skills I had learned along the way. In the process, I created new tools I needed as well as manipulated existing materials in unexpected ways to achieve the results I wanted.
Every single piece of my work - including the smallest fish - requires 28+ separate steps to complete. If the piece has a face or any other hand-painted detail, it requires 32 steps.
