ClothCache Part Two

When I went back to retrieve my bundle, I could see from a distance that the large rock I had covered it with  had moved.


  As I got closer, scrambling over the  rocks, I could see the end of the bundle sticking out.






And I could see marks... good marks



















I wanted to open it on the spot, but I took it home and waited a week. It smelt of the sea and the marks grew stronger.




Opening it was an event. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the video. Here are some close ups.









These sea mordanted cloths will definitely become a 'thing'. They haven't yet told me exactly what they are destined to be. That part of the story has not yet been written. But this whole happening has inspired my ClothCache project, more about that tomorrow...

  1. Lovely results I would like to have a go at this but not sure my beach has enough rocks to keep something safe.

    1. Thank you Debbie. You could try burying a bundle in the sand/shingle and marking with a stake? I have heard of this. Perhaps a small one first to see if it swims away or not? xx
