Hand held windmills and the salty seaside breeze




I've been busy preparing for my show this week and sorting out the last few finishing details. I needed a sign for my little rock promo giveaways and I thought making a windmill would be a far more fun alternative. I made one with my donkey design on it and took it down to the beach to photograph. I was really surprised that it worked in the breeze... the only problem was waiting for the wind to ease while I took a quick photo!

As a child I loved watching these little windmills spin wildly in the salty seaside breeze and I still love them now. For me they bring to mind carefree, happy childhood days at the beach.
