Day 9 - January 9
Beach Renourishment on Sea Island
 
Due to erosion of the sand, even a beach needs a replenishment every now and then. For Sea Island, that time is now. Sand is being taken from the South End around the Jetty and being put in front of the Sea Island Beach Club. At the time the picture was taken, the tide was coming in. It will be interesting to see how much survived as we are currently having very high tides.

365 Days of Pictures

It's that time of year for New Years Resolutions. While most of mine are being healthier, one I've decided to take on is taking a picture a day. The picture can be of anything and anywhere. It's going to be tough to keep up but hopefully I'll enjoy it and capture a part of my day for an entire year. Day 1 and Day 2 were a success and here they go!

Joy to the World

I had a huge frame, a love for maps, and it is Christmas time. I saw someone else online do this and decided to give it a try for myself.

I was given a huge frame but had no use for the indian painting in my house here on the Coast. I wanted to put it to use and finally found a way to do so.

I picked up a rolled map at our bookstore and paid only a couple of bucks for it. It was too big for the frame so I took the glass out and got an idea of where I needed to cut. I left a little bit on each edge so that it would fit snug into the frame.

I picked up 5" stencils from Staples - they are much cheaper than Michael's.
Place the stencils where you want them to go and begin to center them on the map.
Using painters tape, tape down each letter until they are all done.
Put a small strip of tape between each letter and put thicker tape around the outside.
Carefully spraypaint each letter and be careful not to get spraypaint under the stencil. I gave it two coats and it was perfect. After it's dry, carefully take off the tape and stencils. Frame it and that's it!
Very easy, very cheap, and very cool.
