Working with Driftwood
I live by the sea and spend most of my holiday times and weekends in on or under the sea. I’ve recently been spending quite a bit of time walking my new puppy down by the beach searching for shells and driftwood that can be repurposed. There is something satisfying about finding something battered and discarded and making into something that is beautiful and loved again.
I’ve also wrestled over the years with how to hang the many bits of costume jewellery I have at home without them ending up in a tangle when I come to put them on in the morning. This seemed an ideal solution. My first attempt, pictured above is probably my favourite I’ve kept this one and have yet to find a piece of driftwood quite like this one, but I’ll keep looking.
Since then I’ve made a few more necklace hangers using different coloured knobs and both driftwood and newer painted wood. The knobs are collected from different stores and shops both over here in hong Kong, the web and markets in Spain. I love mixing and matching the colours and designs to make each design individual. Hop over to my shop pages to see what is still available !
