Tell Your Ocean Story
Tell Your Ocean Story
What is your connection to the Ocean?
What do you want others to know about the Ocean?
What actions should we take to restore the Ocean?
The Ocean covers more than 70% of Earth's surface. Even if you don't live near the ocean, we are all connected to the ocean.
Stitch Your Science 2023 calls on you to craft your ocean story visually through crocheting, knitting, quilting, weaving, and embroidery (in all forms).
Use your needlework during this Ocean Decade to shape the future of the Ocean!

Spheres of Heaven and Hell (Alison Banks, Athens, Georgia)
Embroidery
Embroidery
The inspiration for this embroidery project came from The Divine Comedy, in which the poet Virgil guides Dante through circles of heaven, purgatory, and hell. It’s a story about consequences, good and bad, and a reminder that we are responsible for our actions while we are here on earth.

Weaving
Weaving
