Fishermen and Seadogs

  I have been having me a bit of fun with some mariners and salty dogs lately ;) It all started with the idea of making a guardian or protector for my sultry driftwood mermaidens and some Ledoeufre inspiration. Once I start something, I can can carried away if I let myself....and so I did....here are the men I created so far from some choice chunks of wood I scored on the shores......

The Fisherman and his 7 Fish

 

A "protector" for my driftwood Mermaids ;) He's a hungry seadog though with 7 fish (okay one eaten already) Inspired by Ledoeufre, this woodburned driftwood with rusty nails detail is 10 cm (4 inch) wide x 29 cm (11.5 inch) long / 48 cm (19 inch) long if you include the dangling individually handcut wooden fish. He's available for purchase at US $85 which includes worldwide shipping. Message me HERE ♥ ahoy !

 

Dwellings

Dwellings II 40x60 cm / 16x24 inch

Dwellings I 20x30 cm / 8x12 inch

With this warm weather (they call it a proper drought now) still going on here, I feel myself thinking about deserts more and more. I love deserts, they are not just sand and the ones I have visited were really beautiful, I have warm memories (pun not intended ;) These two mixed media works are very much inspired by desert-like, warm places... desolate... still, but the dust is flying in hot dry air....I really enjoyed making these, hope you like them too ♥

The Rainbow Box 

 

woodburn design and painted in the amazing technicolours of the rainbow. Okay, so I started playing along with Jane Spakowsky's 10 day challenge and thought it would be kinda cool to make me do the 10 paintings in pink hues, since this is a colour I do not often choose. But after 5 of those pink/purple works I needed some other colours....don't get me wrong I like all the colours of the rainbow, I have no issues with any of them, it's just that one seems to get used to using certain colours more often than others. So I made this box....and called her "She's like a Rainbow" thought that was fitting all this thinking about colours I was doing......It's a box with space for 15 paint pottles and brushes and pencils etc. in.It's 23.5x20.5x5.5 cm or 9.25x8x2.25 inch

It is for sale, you can message me here, I will have to check on the postage, but again I have to run now, this week seems so busy, but I will be back this evening..
