Thread: Lipton

I walked to a few other likely coves along the coast to find them fairly clean of plastics and other stuffs which was good but prolly due to the months of offshores we've had lately but still returned with an overflowing back pack full of things and a few score length of tangled rope. I've been untwisting the ropes I've found into strands and making a background for the figures I'm slowly constructing. Still a while to go as yet.

Yes lot of kids, a whole tribe. Their house is fixed with ropes, tarps and buckets at the moment and nothing is where it used to be, couldn't even find the mozzie coils the other day when I badly needed them

Mucking around with field placements temporarily fixed to the working wall.

Given Victoria's southern exposure and whatever ocean currents come by, do you have any ideas where the rubbish originates? You don't appear to lack color variety to work from!

It's nearly all local rubbish, most of it from fishing activities, stuff fallen from pleasure boats, snapped ropes and lost beach toys. There's also numerous plastic bottles, plastic bottle tops, cigarette lighters, plastic inserts found in the peak of baseball style hats and the ubiquitous thong sandal (flip flops). What's far less obvious are the very small chips of plastics that I see washed up where the final reaches of the high tide were, they can number one in every 100mm on some beaches.

That's about all for now, time to pack everything in and move on, maybe see you along the way.

So Springy, done anymore Liptons or Leos etc lately ? All the rubbish on the beach has been removed ? doubt that

Howdy Craw good to hear from you, all the liptons are done and waiting to come together for a game of cricket on the beach, well that was the original idea anyway. I picked up a huge plastic wading pool cast out on a "nature strip" which I cut the bottom out of with intentions of using it as the background with the liptons attached to it with velcro. I've since wandered away to other things at the moment and waiting for the autum and winter storms to throw up some new stuff.

Sounds good, may the ill winds of autumn and winter blow you some useful crap

In the mean time, just dealing with "stop the boats" etc & the latest "locked up Forests", did u get that delivery in three words? ?

Worth a look:

Hi Springy, pretty sickening but no great surprise. Did you try and PM me this a while back? Very interesting, might plonk it on facebook too, might wake someone up. So we all need to be making liptons to use the rubbish. Whenever I go scuba diving I bring back stuff in my pockets. Our coast isn't as bad as this this area, the Northern Pacific would be a lot worse now after the sunami in Japan were so much stuff was washed out to sea.

Hi Sir Craw, I tried to PM you something a while ago but it wasn't the link above. I'll give it another shot, nothing og great importance just a little light entertainment really.
