Hannah Casey is wearing turn-up jeans and a brightly-coloured cardigan. Not particularly dragon-like, but by the end of August she hopes to have her very own treasure trove. Casey, however, isn’t looking for gold and diamonds (send those to CultureNorthernIreland) but for sentiment.

Remember when you were a child and you had a box full of old dolls heads and stones that were pretty if you spat on them? That is what Casey means when she says ‘treasure’. Knick-knacks, gewgaws, Tchotchkes, old bits of tat or bric-a-brac.

‘I think most people have something like that they hold onto,’ Casey laughs. ‘It could be a piece of beach glass or a nicely shaped stone. Or even just a special receipt that you have kept.’

Don’t worry though, Casey doesn’t want to keep your treasure, just your image of it. Sketch it, draw it, take a photograph of it or make a sculpture out of play-doh – then send an image of the result to Casey to be added to her Treasure Archive Blog.
