Well, the weather is certainly appropriate in our neck of the woods (unlike the past long weekend, when it rained on our parade camping trip)! How about some good-old beach-combing? Some people turn it into a super-creative, fun and artistic experience. See for yourself:

Victoria and Albert Museum’s Artist in Residence Sue Lawty devised the World Beach Project as a global art project open to anybody, anywhere, of any age. Building on the experience of making patterns on beaches and shorelines, this project combines the simplicity of making patterns with stones with the complexities of shape, size, color, tone, composition, similarity and difference.
The results are very different in the skill level and artistry, some abstract and some more realistic, some flat and others more 3-D. But that’s the whole point of this creative exercise!!!

You, yes YOU can put your stone doodle on the map too! And if you do, please don’t be shy, send us a link to your very own World Beach Gallery

Here is some more INFO about the project.
Full set of instructions on how to participate is on the V&A’s webpage.
