Sticks not stones....

Walking along Tallows beach yesterday I was surprised as I followed the tidemark by the presence of sticks. Usually its just rocks, lovely sea smoothed ones at that, including jasper, but it was the first time I'd seen wood in any quantity. I think a storm must have flushed out one of the nearby tea tree lakes, as you can see its beautyfull gnarly bits n pieces, like mangrove roots. So they're drying out while I figure out what to make with them. Already found one organically shaped small spoon, the wood was softened by the water but hopefully she will dry without cracking. Bit of an experiment....
