Beach art

My art group spent a few days camping at the beach and we challenged ourselves to create art from found objects. We did use glue and wire to hold things together but almost everything else came from nature.
Wendy created this wonderful 3D piece using lots of driftwood, seaweed and a feather. I particularly like the circular shell that hangs off the end in the upper right hand corner.

Patty made two creations...one using crab shells and a feather and the other using dried seaweed and shells. She mounted everything on a board.



Maya created a self-portrait using colored pencils, shells and wire. Do you see the resemblance?



Karen made two projects - one using
driftwood and shells.




The other was inspired by Wendy's 3D piece. It uses seaweed and lots of shells.





Here is a close up.





Denise painted her background and used shells, feathers, seaweed and driftwood. The two pieces on the left side dangle from her work.





We all had a wonderful time - stretching ourselves in the process.
