Ocean & Sea Life

Bubbles rise from the sand where a hermit crab is house-hunting for a larger shell. Life under the surface moves at its own pace, from the rhythmic pulse of a translucent jellyfish to the lightning-fast dart of a barracuda. I've always loved how the light filters through the water, turning everything a hazy shade of teal. You might find a grumpy-looking pufferfish expanding like a balloon or a family of seahorses hitching a ride on a piece of drifting seagrass.

Sunken treasures often hide behind thick walls of brain coral and waving sea fans. It's the perfect place to use those neon oranges and electric yellows that usually stay at the bottom of the box. Maybe you'll give a majestic manta ray some polka dots or color a shipwreck with rusty browns. The deep ocean is still mostly a mystery, so if you think a narwhal needs a golden tusk, go for it. Splish-splash.
