A piece I've made this afternoon. I found the striped bit of wood ages ago, and knew it would make the perfect lighthouse, it's just taken me a while to get other bits together!
I've used a washer to represent the lightbeam.
The cottage was a lovely bit of ply with flaky white paint on one side: I've scratched the paint off at the top to make the 'roof' - and added my trademark nail 'chimneys'! The piece of driftwood along the bottom had paint along one edge, so I've turned that into a sea wall - the paint then becomes the sea!
I'm planning on taking this one to
Homespun Fair (Easter Monday - soon be here!), but if anyone is interested in buying it, you can always e-mail me!
There wasn't much wood to be found this weekend - seems alot of it has been used for beach barbeques/fires lately (one drawback to the beautiful weather we've had) but I did find this cute piece (above). Isn't the shape perfect? And in the prettiest shade of blue!
This one is for sale in my
Folksy shop!
Hope you're enjoying the Easter holidays so far! xx
I could handle living here, could you?
You can almost smell the sea air and hear the waves lapping...
A washing line made from rusty tacks gives another excuse for polka dots - and a splash of colour...
...and set in a open white-washed frame. Guaranteed to brighten any room!
I've managed to make a few things this week, despite it being half-term!
This wall-hung cottage has a driftwood door and windowsills to match!
I forgot to post about these last week: I've discovered this fab lightweight polka dot linen in red and navy - perfect for more lavender fish! I think they compliment the ticking ones nicely....don't you?
