#SaturdayShards I saw someone using old postcards and beachcombed finds to make collage art, thought what a good idea that was, did this, then never tried again 😂 #Beachcombinng #SeaPottery #SeaTiles
A faded painting of a rural english scene, trees foreground and right, fields and hedges with a square church tower just visible on the horizon. In the pale blue sky top left are four pieces of sea worn pottery with colours in shades of blue brown and yellow-green that tonally match the painting.

I interrupt my usual posting to share my #Seaplastic (and some seaglass & pottery) xmas wreath 😂 #Beachcombing
A circular wreath held in a hand, it is decorated with various red and yellow beach toys in the shape of starfish, crabs, fish, seahorses and mermaids. The haps between them are filled with random sea tiles and green seaglass. It looks very home-made

Well, the mystery of the little Pegasus figurines is solved! Huge thanks to @boscotron.bsky.social who sent us a link to some Pegasus swimwear and hi11ary.bsky.social who found this pair of 1970s swimming trunks for sale on eBay.
2nd picture credit: Rupert and Toby’s Collectables
Photograph of a small white plastic winged horse on a black background. Beneath the horse is a plastic plaque bearing the name PEGASUS. There are two small holes at the top of the plaque. Picture of red swimming trunks with black stripes, photographed on white background. Close-up shows Pegasus plastic badge attached.

#SaturdayShard pretty sure that’s a wee butterfly on this welsh #SeaPottery fragment… but it has a striped body so maybe a fancy bee? #Beachcombing
Finger and thumb holding a roughly heart shaped sea worn pottery shard, white, with a print of a blue winged insect with long curled antennae. Background is out of focus bit apparently a dark pebbly beach and grey blue water

A throwback for World Walrus Day - this limited edition walrus #linocut. Rapid climate change and loss of sea ice in the arctic is a challenge for these extraordinary mammals.

#walrus #WorldWalrusDay #printmaking #sciart #arctic #mammal 🧪
My 8” x 10” linocut print “Winter Walrus” from 2008 shows a large purplish brown walrus emerging from water surrounded by ice printed in blue.The walrus faces the viewer.

#SundaySunlight - a small #seaglass pile from Mallorca, in the Spanish sunshine (which i’m already missing having got back from a 48 hr whirlwind worktrip) #beachcombing
About 50-60 pieces of seaglass in various sizes and colours, mostly greens and aquas, resting on a white surface. Sunlight beams in through a net curtain casting a wavey light almost like being under water

#ThursdayTrace I like to think this bit of #Seapottery is a Bartmann jug. It probably isn’t, but a beachcomber can dream…. #beachcombing
A roughly trapezoid shaped piece of earthenware pottery resting on a beige and seafoam tartan fabric. The glaze is dark been and a trace of an etched pattern is visible

#FridayFossil - i really appreciate fossils that are immediately identifiable even by non experts like me 😅 #Beachcombing
Photo of part if a large dark brown tock resting on sand. There are many pale fossil fragment inclusions, including one that is clearly a spiral shell.

#TuesdayTorso - who do we think this belonged to? Barnacle encrusted plastic saint(?) found in Madeira #Beachcombing #SeaPlastic

#MondayMetal - i think beach metal, like seabricks, are underrated finds. I like them encrusted and unidentifiable and that they cannot be preserved in the form you found them because they are constantly chemically evolving. #Beachcombing
A disk of metal with a heavy orange coating of rust and small points at the 12 and 6 o clock areas. It rests on grey rocks The same metal circle flipped over to show interlacing disks, also encrusted, on the underside
