Gathering

While Tig has been busy hunting, we’ve been gathering. Seaweed, you say? Wild edible roots, fruits, and shoots? Nope. Sea Beans.

We learned about them rather late in our trip. I saw a little girl with a hamburger bean anklet in Georgetown and was hooked. For the next couple of weeks, I feverishly combed the beaches, rummaging through seaweed to find our little collection of sea beans.

In the above picture we have a gray sea pearl, three hamburger beans, two plain looking ones and a heart bean in the middle. You can even hand polish them to shiny perfection, but I’ll save that for another day.

A necklace I made.

Sea beans aside, my girl has amassed an impressive collection herself of assorted shells, stones, and sharks teeth.
