Ha ha! I found this great piece of wood a while back and though it was perfect for a croc
Ye Olde Water Mill
I was given a couple of old model railway wheels, so I thought I would make a water wheel. The base part has some lovely touches of turquoise paint suggesting water.
Safe Passage
The piece of wood above was a bit special. I knew I wanted to use it as a wave, but as it dried out, it separated to form fingers and a thumb! A helping hand!
Reflections
This is only a small piece, but the driftwood I have used as the water was too beautiful not to utilise! I made a few houses to match the reflections and also added a street light.
In all my days "wrecking" on our beaches, I have normally turned my nose up at plywood! But no more!
I have started painting it to add as a backdrop to some pieces - and I am liking the extra colour!
Believe it or not, I am still getting orders for snowy, Christmassy scenes!
Brrrrrrr! I hope you are keeping warm. Stay safe! xxx
Love the croc!!! You have such a way with wood, you see things that others do not, talented lady :)
ReplyDeleteWow such talent! Love the croc! x Joan
ReplyDeleteI agree about the plywood, good to use painted as a backdrop.
ReplyDeleteI really like the 'ye olde water mill' piece, with the unpainted walls, it has a warmth and charm to it.
Beautiful work, as always,
cheers
