Hi Folks I haven't been on here for a while, a few that met me at the Bushmoot know that my other little passion has been beach cleaning this year
Appalled at the state of our local beaches after the winter storms and the sheer amount of plastic that washed up, waist high in places, left me 'gobsmacked' to put it politely so I started cleaning regularly one of our local beaches
Now when you start picking up the rubbish regularly, you start noticing 'stuff' regularly washing in and then you start to wonder where it all comes from, so I set up a small page on Facebook to connect with others that were also finding the same things and to try and find out where some of it at least comes from
It's been an 'edumacation' to say the least
Anyway I'm always trying to find a use for some of the 'stuff' that washes up....
So take a washed up oyster breeding bag
A crate of old bits of washed up rope
Make a Xmas Tree of course
This was my first attempt using lots of toys, bits and beads that are always washing up ...
So I refined the pattern a little, changed the shape slightly, injected some colour and I've been really pleased with the results
Happy to share the pattern with anyone who'd like to have a go themselves.
Thanks for looking
