Moving
house? It is not only hard work but also
a major milestone in your life. So why
not commission a sculpture or
watercolour of your home to celebrate your move?
This
all started when a good friend of mine was searching around for a a special
gift to give to someone in the village of Itchenor. West Sussex and asked if I would create a
3D portrait of her friend's home in papier mache.
I was really pleased with the result and
as a consequence have created further
home sculptures.
'Anchor
Cottage'
The
picturesque cottage has a gorgeous anchor prominently displayed in the garden and naturally, I
made this the focal point of the portrait.
To make the sculpture truly local, the portrait was built up
from a base made of driftwood picked up in the local harbour.

I particularly enjoyed doing this sculpture and have now a
plan to do further home and building portraits. I presently have a commission
for a beach hut sculpture which I shall be completing over the winter.
Here is another lovely
idea, on the left a personalised papier mache beach
hut. This has a label made from
driftwood. Set on an actual piece of
driftwood this is a very attractive wall
hung sculpture. On the right a row of beach huts set on driftwood.
Commissions start at £50.00 for an A5
size artwork.
If you would like a sculpture of your home, please
email me. To give you an
idea of other buildings that form background to tableau's include the
>>Duomo in Florence, a
>>hotel in England,
>>tropical
beach hut and the
>>Manhattan
skyline.
I can portray an entire street or even a village. A village
pond or statue can be incorporated even if in real life it is not there.
Animals, people, children, bikes -you name it- it can be incorporated, to
realise a moment in time. Have you photo of an old property you loved? I can
bring it back to life adding roses on the walls,
a car in the drive, or any memorabilia from any moment in history or any other
item you desire. I can produce the house of your dreams as a promise for the
future or the home from your past to relive old memories.
Watercolours
If
you prefer a painting to a sculpture, why not commission a watercolour from one
of Driftwood Dream's artists? 'LDR' will provide you with a memorable portrait
of your home painted in her own unique style.
All paintings come with a
personalised label such as this one.
This creates a very poignant and
thoughtful moment as the gift is given.
The paintings can be optionally mounted or
framed.
Prices start at £85.00
with a mount and personalised message.
