How old is some of the plastic we find during beach cleans? This Big Ears figure was given away with #Kelloggs #ricicles over 50 years ago.

You wait ages for a precious #violetseasnail then two come along at once! One from the Indian Ocean and one from the Southern Ocean, and both spotted by Prof Carl Sayer!

Another vintage beach find. Mirror from Barbie's boudoir set, thought to date to 1964. Some 55 years old. Found during a beach clean. #plasticheritage #plasticarchaeology

Proof copies arrived today. I'm done. Gonna watch rubbish on telly for next 2 years.

Remains of dense #wilderness after a #bushfire burned through the area two weeks ago. We've seen trees here which are over 2,200 years old and the rampant fires of recent weeks are not normal for #Tasmania. It's heart breaking to see the very real effects of #globalwarming here.

Amazing...in January this year we found a buoy from the fishing vessel Mr Finn of Wanchese, North Carolina, USA washed up in Cornwall, UK - a journey of some 3,500 miles. Today we found another from the same vessel. If anyone knows Captain Matt Huth, please say hi from us.

We will be kicking our Blue Planet topic off after Easter with Flotsam. If you are unsure how to use it, you can find some ideas here on a guest blog I made for BooksForTopics 🐳🐬🦀🦞🐟🐠🐡🦐🦑🐋🦈

Another curious beach find. Part of a sign in Somali saying: DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC BARRIER. During research we found a manual setting out how vessels could protect themselves against Somalia based piracy. It recommends displaying these signs alongside concertina razor wire

Heading up to Newcastle this morning to talk all things #FlotsamWeaving to the North East Embroiders Guild Regional Day with my demonstration picture frame loom in tow, undoubtedly one of the strangest things I've brought on a train. ner-embroiderers.co.uk

I'm so very excited to be returning to #BrisonsVeor, #CapeCornwall in July for a 2 week #residency. This time I'm delighted to be awarded a bursary! I'll be working through new ideas & creating with Pendeen School so it's not just me that benefits from this generous opportunity.

Lovely evening spent at the opening of #GoEco at Liverpool's Bluecoat Display Ctr. A privilege to see my #flotsam #cyanotypes alongside so many talented British makers exploring #sustainability and #recycling.

Beautiful, hazy light over #TheBrisons last night. #CapeCornwall is England's only cape, where the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Celtic Sea meet.

I've been tweeting from my other account during my artist residency as haven't been flotsam weaving in some time. If you want to follow my current endeavors, this is the best place!
