Balticly Beautiful


I have been travelling a little over the past three weeks, in the beautiful and very green lands of Sweden. Whilst there I discovered some beautiful places, in particular a beach made from granite off the coast of the Baltic sea. This place really stole my heart, and I felt like I had found the end of the world. Whilst there I took photographs of the lines and crevices made by the water through the granite, which I will use for a new series of rings I have been mulling over since visiting the beach. Here are a few of my favourite journeying lines- and it also worth mentioning there was lots of my favourite (Grey!)












During my visit, we descovered these delicate little (abandoned) wasps nest in some outbuildings, which I found mesmorising. The surface of these nests were incredibly thin, like a lace, and when the light shone through them, they were simply stunning. I imagined them as pieces of jewellery and took a few quick photos to note down some ideas before I begin drawing different possibilities out now back home. These houses made by wasps blew my mind, and I couldnt help but be amazed at how the sturcutre of the nest came into being. Nature truely is wonderful.
