Beachcombing......................................!

On a recent and exciting trip to Bangkok and Pattaya , I decided to enjoy  myself  walking down the beach looking for treasures in the sand . While the other people were busy spending time in all the water sports that the Coral island had to offer , I spent a lovely time looking for washed away bits of coral and stones that I could use in my jewellery and beaded creations and capture that lovely time forever !

Wind , sun and surf  galore ...... my son para-sailing at Pattaya . Adventure sports not for me , my heart was in my mouth for the entire duration of the time my teenage son spent going around the sea!

 Clear blue waters , a really tempting sight for all those waterbirds , but for me , the washed out shells and other materials was more fascinating .....

Treasures in hand , I walked the beach looking for more findings from the sea .

Tiny coral bits , no more than an inch in length were in abundunce , and I tried to pick those with at least two or more branches.

Lovely patterns on these corals , arent there ?

 

Washed out pebbles almost perfectly flattened by the waves . Our guide was highly amused at my fascination for them . She even helped me pick a pair of them . The black triangle and the mottled brown beside it are her finds and she picked up the best in the lot for me !

 Fascinated with my treasures , I`m now back home waiting to find time to create something out of these lovely goodies .

Any suggestions ? Do drop in a line , will be waiting for your ideas ....

Until then ......
