My 'beach-combed' Christmas heart..
If I'd have got my act together and taken more photo's as I constructed this post could have been called 'A recycled heart tutorial'.. But as you may have realised things are a little difficult at the moment.. Too many hospital visits and too much to take on board.. This is all the creative energy I have managed to summon..
I brought a very cheap Christmas heart from Wilkinson's in Falmouth. And yes, it was on 'sale' of course. Cheapskate that I am. I decorated it with my collection of beach finds from Church Cove. So, using tangled bits of net and fisherman's string, seaweed and other bits and bobs that were still clinging to the rope, I wove it between the wreath and tied it on with the orange netting. Easy peasy.
Collecting beach treasure at Church Cove
When walking on the beach we always take a carrier bag to collect the rubbish that visitors leave behind and the plastic waste the sea delivers to the shore. Recycling and beach clearing at the same time.. It is amazing what you find...
fantastic!, love the colours.
ReplyDeletebest wishes to you & yours.
Don't all of our hearts contain 'recycled parts'? This is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope the hospital visits end and that life slows to a delightful ease! Lovely heart... blessings from the forest.
