... Minions and other mystical beach creatures

My nephew loves the film 'Despicable Me', with its Minions, banana coloured little creatures who speak their own language, but are quite human in that they often get things wrong. We were on a beach together in Greece, and I decided to make some Minions for him; I collected a few pebbles and painted them yellow, added their blue dungarees, and funny faces with different expression...


But I also found these little "hats" that fitted perfectly onto small pebbles:


I love wandering up and down beaches looking for flotsam. I painted this large flat stone, and arranged it with pieces of wood that had literally been "sanded".



These must have been old spray tins, bashed by the water against pebbles into interesting shapes:
