I must be a mermaid...I have no fear of depths, and a great fear of shallow living. -Anaïs Nin 🌊Made two mermaid bowls last week...always fun to play with ocean themed designs. I'm thinking I really want to make an ocean themed fairy house in the future. What do you think? Are there ocean fairies that live in the sea? #mermaid #anaisnin #mermaidparade #mermaidsarereal #mermaids #workinprogress #wip #potteryvideo #video #ocean #ofthesea

Organic calcium powder and trace minerals. Foraged clam shells from Seaside Oregon, twice washed, dried, crushed, then blended into powder via magic bullet (goodwill $7). It was a process, but ended with a great feeling and great product. #nwnr #ommp #Oregon #northwestnugrun #seaside #foraging #oregonforaging #clamshell #organic #organicoregon #organics #caco3 #calciumcarbonate #traceminerals #ofthesea #notill #notillnorthwest #organicgardening #organics101 #doityourself #nopainnogain #loyaltothesoil #goodingoodout

Finds- a jumble of bones, a rubber thimble and a sun bleached crab claw on found driftwood board. Contents of my waterproof pocket.. the claw and the bones were from Donegal and the thimble was found in the beach car park down the road. #finds #traces #materials #bones #totems #seatotems #tokens #whatwasleft #gathered #collected #forgotten #visualpoem #visuallanguage #poetics #materiality #materiallanguage #coast #coastalfinds #seashore #ofthesea #claw #driftwood #thimble #semiotics #signs #platter #senseofplace #landscape #contemporaryirishart https://www.instagram.com/p/B16hAjaAkFe/?igshid=1rfb877limcjj
