We always pick up driftwood if we see it on the beaches near us, because it is usually rather lovely. I adore Jansch's horses - how clever to be able to make something so remarkable out of flotsam and jetsam. The bits we pick up just lie around looking artistic - they don't go to make a horse, sadly!Writing from the Edgehttp://lorely-writingfromtheedge.blogspot.com/2012/03/sea-horse.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767374934878877802.post-51090264157828564142012-03-08T07:07:19.598-08:002012-03-08T07:07:19.598-08:00This is wonderful.
