How true this is... Art needs no words if the image is strong enough. I've always drawn since early childhood and loved every image I created, even the bad ones, they're a great learning curve. Taking 'O' Level at school. A lot changed when I had children and most of my drawings were pencil of them. Treasures I hold very dear. I turned to pyrography about 30 years ago, after my divorce, when I was looking for a new way to express myself, and fill the emptiness and loneliness of the long evenings when the children had gone to bed. I can tell you the amount of times I burnt myself certainly took away the mental anguish! Now retired, I found myself with too much time on my hands, so dusted off the wood burning machine. I still have a long way to go, but every burn teaches me something new. I don't think I'll every stop learning this fascinating craft 🧡 REMEMBER ~ BUY LOCAL...

Stunning dream catcher wall art. These really have to be seen, they have glass beads that shimmer when the sun catches them.

Home 🏡💖 🇯🇪 Home is where the heart is 💖 Hand drawn and painted in acrylic on a piece of timber from the side of an old French wine case. Wherever possible I try to recycle. I love giving old, tired pieces a new lease of life. The wall hanging has the co-ordinates for our very own Island of Jersey 🇯🇪 Other co-ordinates are available. Perhaps you want something unique to you... the co-ordinates to your own home! 😊 Not on the High Street!
