hand drawing of a circle + star = sand dollar

Circle + Star = Sand Dollar


Five parts of the beach.

Sun.
Sand.
Salt.
Wind.
Water.

Sand dollars have that five-point star right in the middle. I love that.

It’s such a simple shape, but also so pleasing to look at. The whole shell is just a circle, and then there’s that sharp little star sitting right in the center.  

Five points got me thinking about the five things that make a beach day feel right:  * sunshine overhead * warm sand under your feet  * salt in the air * wind coming off the water * the slow rhythm of the waves 

Those are the things that draw us to the beach. 

So the star became a kind of marker for all that.

Five points, five reasons we’re drawn to the beach.  And the circle around it just holds everything together.

Classic shape, symmetrical, satisfying. A treasure
