painted driftwood.
A simple concept, but the execution is magnificent. If I wasn’t so afraid of color in my home, I’d scatter these beauties everywhere!

I would love a summer dress inspired by these!
I think I would like to stack them by the fireplace like firewood :) and what was that you said about being afraid of color?!
ooh! why are these so lovely?!
…these are awesome.
ahh! so gorgeous! want want want. I have too much color in my home!
on a different note. I love even through a feed of like 40 blogs I always know exactly which posts are yours.
i’m not afraid – they remind me of totem poles. love the idea!
oh good god….I absolutely adore these. I am not afraid of color! Bring it! :)

That is quite creative. It is amazing how people can come up with something like that from a simple piece of material. I guess you just have to have that creative streak in you.
I know! Totally gorgeous!
And yes, indeed. Very afraid of color in my home. :) I don’t know what’s wrong w/ me!
Erin, I should take a picture of my bookcase for you and try and get you out of your white-love. :)
And these are great. They kind of remind me of sticks we wood-burned in Camp Fire Girls back in the day to fling around to each other while singing a song whose phonetics I remember to be “A Wooney Cooney Chock a Wooney.” I could be mis-remembering that one, though.
i come from a land where driftwood is more or less as plentiful as people. this is nothing short of magnificent! other words i’m digging for this include: wondrous, splendid, and marvelous.
also, i think this may become my new favorite hobby. EVER.

Love this!
At that one reminds me of those brighly colored vagina cupcakes… :)
Ginette’s work is great!
‘fear color” Ha! Me too.
My wife and I recently went to fireisland where children sold painted shells. If only they knew the market for the driftwood! ;)
