You never know what you might find on the seashore... by 


….so walk carefully, keep your eyes open and maybe you’ll find something precious.

Inspired in part by Charles Kingsley’s Water Babies

Created using three of my own photographs (my little son Levi at 2 weeks, a seashell photographed on white paper, beach sand) and an old film texture from Lost and Taken.

Edited in Photoshop CS5.

In between cooking, shopping, doing laundry, washing dishes, changing nappies and schooling my children I sometimes find a spare moment to doodle, draw or photograph something or someone. Those are the moments that keep me going, even if they are few and far between. Food for the artist mom’s soul.

    You have the talent – but maybe not the time ☺xx

    Sounds like a wheely wheely good idea lol
    I never have time to go out and take pictures anymore, so I have to use Wikimedia
    I tend to do that a lot these days.
