It's been a long time since I've posted on my blog! I thought I'd share the process of how I created my latest driftwood beach houses.
Every now and then I find a piece of driftwood that is really nice but just not wide enough for stone flowers, so I decided to chop it up for 3 driftwood beach houses of the same size. I then began sketching ideas and selecting color combinations.
I then start assembling pieces of wood to see if I can create a design similar, or at least inspired by, my drawings. I wanted these mounted to something but wasn't yet sure so I began placing them on scrap pieces of wood. I really liked them against white.
My assistant, a.k.a. Ken, cut some pieces of pine and rounded the edges for me to paint. I added all my final details and finalized assembly. The materials I used include driftwood, stones, beach glass, vintage hardware and a couple sprigs of willow eucalyptus. I then went down to the beach for a photo shoot, and here's the result!
