As usual, my project has completely changed direction half way through. Im not going to be taking inspiration from my crashing wave photos, and Orkney folklore so much now - instead i am going to be concentrating on close up photos of textures in the sand and rocks, and the sparkly, bubbly photos of the sea taken at St Catherines Bay and also things you find on the shore line, like the net floats. Have been thinking about what else you find washed up on the beach, what else did i see a lot of when i was a little girl, and on my visit to Orkney during easter? I picked up these pretty pieces of beach glass, and think im going to use them for my colour palette. Other things you see a lot of in Orkney are plastic carrier bags (especially the bright blue ones, and the stripy ones), buoys, rope (every colour and weight you can imagine), drift wood, broken toys (strange amount of dolls heads, legs etc!) and plastic bottles. Time for dinner - post new fashion research tomorrow!
