Re-use by the sea: Lindisfarne sheds and sea-glass jewellery

We had a lovely in Holy Island on Lindisfarne during the school holidays. I wish to celebrate this magnificent re-use of material: turning herring fishing boats into beautiful sheds.


Another impressive example of re-use is sea glass jewellery. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings made by Joan Laverick of Authentic Sea Glass, Durham. She searches the beach near Seaham in North-East England to find Victorian glass that has been tumbled and polished by the sea into beautiful gems, which she turned into delicate jewellery.
