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!

   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.

    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.

    ‘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! ;)
