"Vacation"
is a shell book inspired by a vacation by the sea.
Here is the text hand written on the pages of the book:
Vacation
There is something magical about being near the sea
the smell, the ocean and all its contents
the sounds of all the wind and flora and fauna
the colors of the water and surf and clouds and sand and rocks
and algae and starfish and shells and seaweeds
the feel of the water mixed with the salt ~ the mist on your face and hair
and the taste of expectation and the rest of mind
