Knittery and Stitchery and Stuff

We are; believe it.

There were a whole series of embroidered/fabric art, heavily textured, littoral and O horizon pictures - phenomenally skilful work and deeply desirable. Although they would gather dust like a complete bastard.

One of my favourite ‘fabric/textile artists’, if I can call her that, is Michelle Mischkulnig . Her stuff seems to have a light, ethereal quality to it, with no suggestion of hardness

Or Limpets…

She is clearly patellaist, or patella-excluding. Tsk. Even so, I shall look her up just now

Limpets are dead easy to get

Wait for the tide to flow

Limpets lose grip to go and feed

Quick knife under the shell into the bucket with the limpets

Rinse and stick into boiling water

Limpets stop

Twellsy dere It is considered bad luck to talk of those unfortunate and foolhardy souls who go out to gather limpets and are never seen again. But I can vouchsafe that they do not go easy.

I used to harvest limpets to sell as fish bait to townies to go mackerel fishing

I know that you act quickly or the limpets will pin your digits under their shell

You get a great view of the barnacles feeding while you try to wrestle the limpets back up off you

Bad tempers limpets have

All they have to do is wait a few hours for the splashing to subside, and your trapped and drowned body will be prime limpet chow.

Aaah another thing about limpets is that they lift their shells to breathe

So patience is the best tool a harvester can have

And they hate grit in their shell too

The things you learn from patient sitting by rock pools

That’s what living on a beach does for you
