I make things from what I find on the seashore, i add to my finds to make them into something new!

Hello
I’m Polly and I live in hayle, Cornwall. I’m married and have two girls of 8 and 10.
I’ve always been a super busy person, rarely stopping, always creative, photography, drawing and painting mostly but I always had too much energy to often sit and make, exploring and roaming was more my passion!
We moved to hayle from london in 22 to immerse ourselves in the nature and community of Cornwall.
Life had other plans!
In early 23 my health began to serious decline and in sep 23 I was dignosed with a benign but very large brain tumor! I had surgery and am greatfully alive and well today! But…..
It fundament changed my brain and body in a relatively small but most significant way! Energy! Cognitive, physical and mental energy! My energy is now compromised! My main remain8mg cups of energy is reserved for only lifes essential!
Tired body! Tired brain! Very very busy mind! So I made and make!
It stared and still is really to keep my mind and brain and hands busy, I can’t run down sand dunes and sea swim anymore, so i make nad create. I did it for self preservation, for mindfulness, for sanity! I still do! I never made to sell.
But here I am boxes of made items that deserve to be enjoyed!
I feel ready to share this with you all xxx Thankyou Polly x
