Life's a Beach - Hyam's Beach.
Margaret Videan
Hyam's Beach on the south coast of Australia is said to have the whitest sand it the world. The beach is very long and walking the length of the beach is a delightful daily routine. There are such fascinating things that are washed up on the beach I thought they deserved their own scarf, which I've made in silk and cotton in collaboration with Pip Wilkinson, a talented young graphic designer. http://circleofdesigners.com.au/
An added bonus is that my walking buddy Maria, a professor of marine biology, has listed the scientific names for all the bits we came across on the beach. Scroll down to see!
