why ...

... do we pick up what we do on the beach
The shells make up the personality of Trinity Beach, Nth Qld
The Coconut stalks come from a little bit further north
I am "Considering Weave" with Jude Hill for the next couple of months. Thought I would just go along to listen, but look what happened while on holidays.

  3. I pick it up because of colour and shape I think. I've loved driftwood since I was a small child - my family had a cabin on a lake in the Yukon and childhood summers were spent there... it had a beautiful sandy beach, freshwater snail shells that crumbled at the lightest touch and "seaweed" that was almost always dark, dark brown. I played with those things far more than with our beach toys, making fences, "plates", teepees and such - the colours and the textures of those days still are my biggest influence... as I'm typing this I can feel the sun and the wind, even now.
    I love this post Jane.
