I had a special request this week for a birthday card featuring a camper van: not something I had considered doing before, but I remembered a small piece of driftwood in my stash with orange peeling paint on it....sometimes when I find odd bits on the beach I know immediately what they will become: others may hang around for years waiting to be used. The orange piece fell into the latter category - and now I had the perfect chance to use it!
I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out - and my friend, who liked it too, proceeded to order a dozen more for her gallery! Couldn't help but think I had been tricked!
After sharing the images on my Facebook page, I was then asked to make a vintage caravan card...
....and following that one, several more orders ensued!
Trade mark washers and a bit of bunting mean that they compliment my other driftwood cards nicely, so I am selling them on my website!
And finally, here is my latest piece I made today: a rather jolly work called "Street Party"
All the above make me think of summer....or is it the abnormally gorgeous weather we are experiencing at the moment?
I hope you are enjoying the sunshine - wherever you are!
