    Polish artist <a href="http://nespoon.blogspot.com/">NeSpoon</a> frequents <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Oak-Beach599056">Oak Beach</a> along the Baltic sea every summer for a holiday. But last summer the<a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/art"> artist </a>decided to turn her vacation into a work of art by introducing “street art” to the beautiful beach. Far from tagging the rocks with unsavory words or images, the artist, known best for her creation of doilies as stencils, instead adorned areas along the water with the beautiful pieces made of lace. Though very delicate, the doilies survived on the beach over a week, but more amazingly, they helped highlight the natural beauty of the beach remnants, often ignored for the ocean and game and food-laden folly.
