The Smithsonian Community Reef

Local crafters who contributed to the Smithsonian Community Reef proved that there is no limit to the colorful reef forms that can be created using hyperbolic crochet techniques. Their wildly imaginative pieces are on display alongside the main installation of the Institute For Figuring’s Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History from October 16, 2010 to April 24, 2011.

Just found this particular

Just found this particular page on the Ocean Portal you present and I can only think of one word: "Awesome". I am sr. Florida resident in Jacksonville not far
at all from our Marineland and their Dolphin Conservation Center on the n.e Fla. coast, but this gives us such a beautiful sampling of what is under the ocean which is above description. You must see it and Thanks for allowing that. Hope to make it up to D.C. to actually see this!
