My husband is one of the most creative people I know. He creates with his hands whereas I use my… well, my head, I suppose! I write Chick Lit and YA books. He especially loves making stuff with driftwood found on the beach. Check out two of my favourite things he’s made…
He wanted my input on what to write on the sign above… naturally, being an author of urban fantasy I had to include mermaids! And Tofino… because it’s the most beautiful beach we have ever visited.
This lamp and the sign above it, were both made from driftwood we collected from the Algarve’s West Coast. Aren’t they both gorgeous?
Although the lamp has been changed slightly by our crazy cat who seems to think it’s the perfect scratch board. She keeps hopping up onto the table and scratching the hell out of it… having said that, she has given it a slightly more worn look, don’t you think?
To make the lamp, he used an extra long drill bit to drill a hole down through the middle of the large wooden piece (where he then pushed the cable through and attached the bulb to the top). The smaller pieces of driftwood were then carefully positioned and stuck in place using a silicone glue.
