Happy Birthday Sarah

 

I love to be able to make a very personal gift

This was for Sarah's birthday

An homage to Achilles, her precious hound

So glad she liked it!

Productive Weekend

 

There always seems lots of interest with the driftwood houses I've made so this collection has been added to my Etsy shop today

 

 

Small Pale Green

 

 

Small Pale Blue

 

 

The White House

 

Medium Blue with laundry

 

It's always great to do different stuff.

But customers like what they like!

 

 

A boat house, A dragonfly and an Octopus!

 

Finally got to deliver this little boat house

 

and this special order for a dragon fly.

He's kinda cute with aqua body, bark wings and oversized eyes!

 

 

I loved the dragon fly so much I decided to experiment with this little fella

Again the eyes have it!

 

 

and for the weekend I made these boats designed to add  something to any garden!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What have I been making?

 

More lighthouses have been dispatched!

I get that they are cute (great present for a coastal lover) but I miss the opportunity to make something quirky and more interesting!

 

I had a couple of other requests (pictures to come once delivered), which helped ease my pain

Happy Mother's Day

 

Mother's everywhere will receive flowers today, but my driftwood and bark flowers will last all year round!

 

I actually made these for my partner for Valentines Day

and look they haven't wilted or drooped at all!

 

Well we are back from our exploration to Sydney, Australia

What a crazy place that is! Wild weather, crowded and noisy, but worth the visit

 

Back to work and finally back to some creative fun, now the dreaded jet lag has abated!

 

Promise to post my latest creations ASAP

More Houses

 

A house for Margaret

 

A house for Andrea

 

 

The joy of a long weekend is plenty of time to get creative

 

These two houses were special requests and have turned out beautifully

 

I used nails for the chimney pots and bark for the roof on the tiny birdhouse

 

The pale colors have really brought out the grain and textures in the wood

 

I hope they love them as much as I do
