The Artist Making Tapestries Out of Aquatic Trash @atlasobscura So excited to be featured! atlasobscura.com/articles/jo-at…

@LegoLostAtSea @MacckittySue @cox_tom Certainly is!

@MacckittySue @cox_tom Is that one of yours @FlotsamWeaving

Madness. All picked up from just two Cornish beaches over the last three weeks.

For our strange days, I offer 'Tree on the Hill'. Thank you. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/…

Super cool funded PhD project @UofGCritStudies and @CCScotland on arts-based interventions as mechanisms for social change with focus on energy and environment, please share widely! @asleuki @BSUEnvHums @EEHNetwork @UoBrisCEH @CarsonCenter @GSoASustain findaphd.com/phds/project/a…

@LegoLostAtSea @WebbyJamesHere That's an entire battalion!

@WebbyJamesHere We have to confess we do quite like finding those little soldiers🙂as our great friend @FlotsamWeaving will testify! Though trying to work out how old they all are is quite a time consuming business...

Blue Monday. Some of the figures here date back to the 50s. Over 60 years old and still going strong. All found on Cornish beaches. Beachcombing in the Anthropocene. #plasticarchaeology

@BeachcombingBB @BareFoot_IOS @Pagey1951 @Portheras Is it part of an installation project?

@FlotsamWeaving @BareFoot_IOS @Pagey1951 @Portheras I wanted it. Not sure what I'd have done with it, but I wanted it.

Today I found this on the beach. Sadly it wasn't lost 😭#MassiveDisappointment @BareFoot_IOS @FlotsamWeaving @Pagey1951 @Portheras

Please watch this #film about Richard Waddingham, the **wonderful** #Norfolk #farmer who inspired @norfolkponds & our #Big50 #pond #restoration project: bit.ly/2kV9FfF

I've been tweeting from my other account during my artist residency as haven't been flotsam weaving in some time. If you want to follow my current endeavors, this is the best place!

Beautiful, hazy light over #TheBrisons last night. #CapeCornwall is England's only cape, where the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Celtic Sea meet.

@sladedesign @gray Wow, that looks interesting. Unfortunately I’m still in creative exile down near Lands End!

@informed_enviro So great to see you two here on the tip of the UK! Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and that the pub I recommended didn't disappoint x

Pack of four cards featuring different #flotsam #cyanotype designs - £12 (including UK P&P). Cards are supplied with craft envelopes, presented tied up with blue and white parcel string and would make a great gift. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal - please message me to order!

Rainy day task - rearrange your beach-cleaned treasures! @MuseumofLitter @FlotsamWeaving @WoollettLisa @Portheras @2minbeachclean @BareFoot_IOS @BeachBonkersHQ @SAPlastic2018

Lovely evening spent at the opening of #GoEco at Liverpool's @BluecoatDisplay. A privilege to see my #flotsam #cyanotypes alongside so many talented British makers exploring #sustainability and #recycling.

I'm so very excited to be returning to #BrisonsVeor, #CapeCornwall in July for a 2 week #residency. This time I'm delighted to be awarded a bursary! I'll be working through new ideas & creating with Pendeen School so it's not just me that benefits from this generous opportunity.

@BeachcombingBB @BareFoot_IOS @MuseumofLitter @Pagey1951 @Portheras @WoollettLisa Oh no! Someone must be very upset to have lost that furry friend!

Lost, abandoned, or forgotten? Another foundling joins the family at BBB HQ! @BareFoot_IOS @MuseumofLitter @FlotsamWeaving @Pagey1951 @Portheras @WoollettLisa

Heading up to Newcastle this morning to talk all things #FlotsamWeaving to the North East Embroiders Guild Regional Day with my demonstration picture frame loom in tow, undoubtedly one of the strangest things I've brought on a train. ner-embroiderers.co.uk

@sladedesign Yes, I've heard great things about Margate. Look at all of those lovely shards of text!

Another curious beach find. Part of a sign in Somali saying: DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC BARRIER. During research we found a manual setting out how vessels could protect themselves against Somalia based piracy. It recommends displaying these signs alongside concertina razor wire
