WOOD YOU LOOK AT THIS!

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

This past Friday my friend, Pam, came over for a craft day. As she was leaving I walked outside with her and we stood talking. I looked down and saw this wonderful piece of wood. Wood you look at this, a perfect bird shape!I love the grungy back side too!I so have plans to use this in a future art piece. I want to make a cast of it first as I have a couple of ideas for its use.

Sunday afternoon I was walking down to the barn when I saw this...A perfect swans head! With a little sanding and paint I feel another theater character coming on, sort of in the fashion of the stone headed Shakespearean Raven I made last year...I see the swan as more of a storybook type character, wings splayed, like a marionette. Now do you see why I have such a hard time getting all my projects done? There are always so many ideas cropping up from so many places.

I wood hope that when I get to these that they come out as I envision and not quite as scary as this poor little guy did...I think it quite amazing that nature grew these shapes.

Can you also tell that I am scraping the bottom of the post barrel for subject matter? I mean really, how low can you go when you start taking photos of sticks from your yard? On that note I think I'll go and see if I can find something that wood be a bit more interesting to share with you next time. I hope that you are enjoying a wonderful day!

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
