Vonda famously made beaded and crochet Sea Creatures, including Jellyfish, anemones, nudibranchs, and marine flatworms. She contributed to the Smithsonian’s Exhibit of TheIFF’s Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef and participated in the Crochet Coral Reef.
Many Clarion West graduates have received her yarn “sea creatures” or “coral brains,” which she crocheted every year for the class as stress relievers.
