Talisman

We collected the shell and stones from various Orkney beaches when we've gone back home to Scotland for our holidays - the kids say that they look after us down here in Englandshire, but what they're keeping us safe from I'm not sure...marauding Cotswoldians? Rioting Cheltonians? The mind boggles...

But they look nice, and are fairly minimal...

Like the soft colours and varied textures in these.

Well obviously the 'stones' are to protect you when living out in the 'sticks' :-)

I know exactly why you do this Doug, everytime I go to Scotland I come back with shells, pebbles, rocks, driftwood etc etc... I just can't resist them!
