We managed a magnificent haul of treasure this year from the beach in St Ives. Hubby and I trawled the beach at low tide every day, and Carolyn, Noelle and I squeezed in a wander too.
So on my return, I decided to make a heart to display some of this treasure.
I weaved on the remnants of fishermans nets I had picked up, and added a shell.
A bit of old tin can looked at home amongst the scraps of fabric and beads and ribbons (made to look like the froth on the edge of the waves).
I also added a dolphin charm (I didn't find this on the beach!) to remind me that we had seen dolphins in the bay.
