Whitsand Bay.
Runnels of water in the sand, three dimensional white horses.

Dungeness by torchlight.
Night walk to the shore, torchlight casting its glow on the moment where sea meets land.

Early evening, pearlescent sky casting pink reflections onto the sea.

Mechanical white horse described by a driftwood pencil.
Periwinkles at Portwrinkle
These shells glow like E.T.'s finger against the grey shingle of the beach.

Portwrinkle (iii).
This piece uses mohair and silver thread crocheted to create a seascape. The individual fibres of the yarn fill the gaps between the stitches, creating a series of unique shadings in what is otherwise a fairly regular pattern.

Bradwell-on-Sea (i). Shells crunching underfoot, waves lapping at a shoreline's undulating shadows.

Bradwell-on-Sea (ii).
This piece uses a gradient yarn and the slip stitch style of crochet to create a seascape. This small scrap of driftwood - merely two inches long, was one of only two pieces I found on a visit to Bradwell-on-Sea. As the day faded the sun turned the sea a peachy silver, a sliver of which this hook was able to describe.

Sparkling sun making the sea shine, sleek wet sand at the shoreline gradually becoming dry and soft.

Portwrinkle, Cornwall (i).
Grey shingle, curiously green and purple rocks, the cold blue sea of a winter day.

Portwrinkle, Cornwall (ii).
This piece uses a number of different yarns and the Tunisian style of crochet to create a seascape. It is as much about the weather as it is the sea; visiting the beach in a storm, trying to see the sea through mist and rain, picking out the rocks and the outcrop of land along the next bay. Stubbornly finding moments of colour through the clouds.
