Selkies and Merfolk

The Sea is such a powerful inspiration for me.

Not just with the ebb and flow of the tides

-high tide around here is my favorite-

but the sound of the waves lapping,

beautiful boulders

and collections of shells, stones and driftwood...

I love the magical mystery of the deep sea.

The selkies and sea sprites,

the merfolk,

and all of the fantastical creatures associated through history's tales.

I love the shapes and textures

and the smell in the air

of salt and earth.

The sea has wrapped itself around my soul,

taken hold

and become a part of me.

(ha! I always wanted to be a mermaid!)
