Lin's Beach Find Arrangements
In this first photo, Lin has placed round rocks on top of a long piece of rock found on the beach.The long slab has obviously been shaped and, from its texture and the way it is worn, we are almost positive it was used as a file for sharpening blades, ie, axes or knives.
1. Round rocks on a knife-sharpener.
2. A "fancy diver" of rock and driftwood
along with pine cones, birch bark and a shell.
This arrangement usually hangs on the wall; again, I moved it into better lighting on the windowsill.
This is a recycled panel of glass with driftwood, sea glass, and stone mounted on it.
In this third photo, you see a marble along with some smaller sea glass in this amazing piece of driftwood in its usual place on our living room windowsill.
Although we have great driftwood in our area, we actually collected this beautiful piece on the Oregon Coast.
Driftwood, sea glass, and marble.
The fourth photo shows an arrangement again on our living room windowsill where it generally resides.
Driftwood, sea glass, and seaweed from Washington
along with a seahorse from our local beach in Peru, SA.
The fifth photo is of a piece that I put together. I left it on the wall, and as you can see, the lighting is somewhat washed out, but you get the idea.
Driftwood from Washington mounted on a
recycled glass panel of the type used in chandeliers
a
Other arrangements sit on the counter between the kitchen and living room and were a little too big to move into better lighting (we're not professional photographers here :-)
Now the question is - with our windowsills and counter space used up, where are we going to put the newer rocks, driftwood, etc, that we "won't pick up"?
