Fishermen, the Donegal coast and creatures

So I am finally starting my summer project! I have had the busiest summer yet, I represented donegal in the mary from dungloe international festival and the amount of work put in for that was unreal. I also work full time in the summer as a prep chef in the lobster pot in burtonport. So really I have no time at all to do this project but I'm trying to fit it in before I head to work.

Anyway my project is going to be about the coast of donegal and what the fishermen went trough when fishing was booming in donegal. 

I done a lot of research all ready about fishermen and the coast but I'm also looking at the sea creatures. I started collecting the shells from work and looking at the fish and shellfish in detail. I never released how much detail could be in one prawn or the patterns there in on oyster shells. I have gotten so interested in this I just wish I had more time to do it! 


I hope to make something with the pattern in this oyster!!



These mussel shells remind me of butterfly's I NEED to do something with them it would be a shame not to.
