I came across this on a freezing March day on a windy Chesapeake Bay beach. It seems to be from some kind of water craft--a pedal boat or something lightweight? not a boat as it doesn't seem substantial enough. I've found that pieces of boat make the best driftwood, although having spent years living on boats, it creeps me out to think of them sinking.

looks so papery....
ReplyDeleteI have several such lucky finds and like yours, they all hold a strange cropped history.
ReplyDeletePaula, now I'm wondering if it's from a notebook cover, as the backing seems cardboard-y.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie--so glad you commented because I was looking for the post you did on the palm sized map (http://inkhaven.blogspot.com/2010/07/palm-sized-map_08.html) and couldn't find it. So beautiful!
...maybe not so good for a boat. I love the idea of boat building- I just don't need another obsession.
ReplyDeleteYes, boats can really take over one's life!
