A couple of beach combing photos from Scotland....

In October I went to Edinburgh for a few days quiet time, but unbeknown to me the chilly shores of Scotland are amazing for providing fantastic beach combing finds. So it was less quiet time and more beach combing time! Here are some shots from those few days:

Whenever I'm beach combing it's always "head straight down"and eagle-eyes at the ready

Finding ceramics amongst the mallards!

 After a long and cold day beach combing, I empty my pockets, lay out my finds and take stock (I was much happier than I appear to be in the photograph; I think I'm concentrating!)...

 ..... amongst which are some really beautiful pieces of blue china.

I'm really, really excited about making some new pieces with my Scottish finds so please watch this space to see what I come up with! Hopefully lots more trips to the Scottish Shores will soon follow and then I'll have a wealth of beautiful found objects.

Many thanks to Collette for her photographic skills and her patience during my beach combing exploits!

Beach Combing Photographs............

I am so used to beach combing alone, but over the past few months I have had a few people join me, who have taken photos. It was nice to have the company but quite strange at the same time, and it demonstrated how fussy I am about what I pick up!

Here are a fine selection of the photographs to show you! Thanks to Eva, Gavin and Collette!

 Happy to find a good piece of driftwood!

 Making sure I comb the whole beach!

 Scaring the seagulls!

 Excusing the cheesy pose, this is a spot that I love to look at, it's always different!

 "I have great desire, my desire is great". Complete with the obligatory man-with-metal-detector!

 To keep or not to keep...?

 There is sand on Brighton beach!!

 

Not liking having my photo taken!
