Nice cold day — yes!

Staying home? No way! Just had to go to the beach. . .

BeachLace.

So, what was there to find today, you would be asking? Beach Lace . . .

Patterns.
They sure looked pretty…usually there are none, but the heavy winds brought them to the surface, after brushing away the sand.

Prototype

The first one wrapped. Stay tuned!

(Gertraud Fendler’s photos and creations are available at Ellen Moore Gallery on Mason Avenue.)

    Thank you for taking me on a beautiful trip to the beach with your story in photographs, Gertraud. I imagine it was a battle with the wind to find those exquisite filigree medallions.

    Something about the Chesapeake Bay/Beach on a cold January day. Seafoam and all! Good for the SOUL!

    I live in Minnesota and never heard of sea foam called Beach Lace before. Sounds more picturesque and beautiful, which it definitely is with your talented touch. Next time visiting in Cape Charles (usually twice a year) I certainly am going to the Ellen Moore Gallery for a souvenir!

    Beach lace are old shells that have been pitted by weather and microorganisms. It is not a “hardened” sea foam. Sorry!
