Oystercatcher with wild waves behind

Returning oystercatcher are one of the first signs of spring in Shetland, their shrill cries the harbinger of changing season. The weather is still wild, with weeks of storms and raging seas, but these birds remind us calmer days will come #Shetland

We have had weeks of gales in #Shetland with many days when the ferry was unable to sail and supermarket shelves are empty.

We are lucky to have some amazing locally produced food and everyone keeps plenty spare in cupboards and freezer.

The storms have been washing up lots of treasure and it has been fun making these into jewellery! This is a codd bottle marble, a piece of sea pottery, a sea button and a seaglass pendant

Have also made more seaglass fairy lights. There are 3 sets of coloured lights and 3 sets of warm lights available on Etsy. Made with seaglass from #Shetland beaches

I have just added some new seaglass earings to Etsy :)

Thanks!

A Snowy walk this morning #Shetland

Old wooden button, uneven and worn

Old uneven brown button. Turned into a pendant

Sometimes when looking for seaglass I find other treasure. Yesterday I found a wooden button and thought I would try making it into a pendant. What do you think? #Shetland

One of the main reasons it is essential to wear a hat when going to up helly aa 🤣

The day after #uphellyaa is a school holiday so I took the boys wave watching #Shetland

To be fair, there is quite a resemblance 😂

I love how the shape in the flames is so much like the galley's head!

Burning galley and flames look like a dragon shape

When the flames form a dragon #Shetland #uphellyaa

He is totally fine, he didn't even notice 😂
