Lots of texture, in coastal colours have been used to depict the debris found along the coast.   Shells, mesh, beads and stones, along with buttons and muslin waves. 

As I spend so much time out and about with my sketchbook., I love to work some of my drawings into collages using re-cycled fabrics, beads, shells and other found materials.  All my collages are hand stitched and original.  Where possible, I use natural materials such as wool, silk and cotton.  Beads are usually glass, semi-precious stone and crystal.  I also use shell, copper wire and mesh and a collection of buttons, some very old.
