Looking over towards Fairlight. |
Rock a Nore beach, catching the fading light. |
Along the beach I started to see bits of driftwood, a fantastic surprise, as Hastings beach is not that good for driftwood. So in the fading light I took photographs of these pieces, and collected them as I went. To begin with I could see the wood clearly, but as I was retreating to my car, the light had faded so much I didn't have a clue what I was picking up! At least, I knew it was wood ;) This really added to the experience of searching for wood to carve...it was exciting to open up my bag the next day to see what I had picked up!
Now the fun of looking for the wood, and becoming more aware of the beach surrounding, becomes part of the process of creating the finished piece.
the walk along the beach must be so incredible!
ReplyDeleteHi Robin,
DeleteYep, Hastings beach is rather wonderful, if a little treacherous at times ;)
