I took lots of photos, a little video and was captivated in particular by one playful female seal pup called Garlic. \u00a0I did watercolour sketches from my photos (they were all moving a bit too quickly to draw on site!), and these formed the basis of the seal design.<\/p>\n<p>I really admire the work of the volunteers at the British Divers Marine Life Rescue, who rescued Garlic and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary who took care of her. I&#8217;m happy to say she was released back to the sea shortly after our visit and I hope she&#8217;s happily swimming off the coast of Cornwall with a family of her own.<\/p>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sealsanctuary.co.uk\/html\/garlic202223css.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Garlic&#8217;s story here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bdmlr.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about the BDMLR here<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cornish-seal-pup.jpeg\" alt=\"Cornish seal pup\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"965\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Cornish seal pup\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/df88a1e9-93b4-11ef-94fc-0ee2f07aa6aa_products_master_py_lc25_b_wood_inf_c9bd5f8d1c6aaac30dd3b1d0b68afa59.jpg\" alt=\"Swim Free Young Seal wooden clock\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1000\" width=\"1000\" title=\"Swim Free Young Seal wooden clock\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\tSwim Free Young Seal wooden clock\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/index.php\/product-category\/swim-free-young-seal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Swim Free Young Seal\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Oceans-Alive-Coordinates-Cornwall.jpeg\" alt=\"Oceans Alive Coordinates Cornwall\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1000\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Oceans Alive Coordinates Cornwall\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\tOceans Alive Coordinates Cornwall\n<h3>\n\t\tClick here to see our full range of coordinating pattern designs\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/index.php\/oceans-alive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClick Here\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" itemprop=\"image\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/freshmadedesigns.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/9d878ec0-92e1-11ef-94fc-0ee2f07aa6aa_arts_master_py_x4_inf_.jpg\" alt=\"Swim Free Young Seal cushion\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"750\" width=\"750\" title=\"Swim Free Young Seal cushion\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\tSwim Free Young Seal cushion\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swim Free Young Seal Unlike the other two patterns in this collection, the seal design came from much more recent inspiration, and takes its name because that&#8217;s what I really hope this young seal is doing &#8211; swimming free.
