After hunting and dragging half of South County’s driftwood back to my patio, I am getting to the fun part. Painting the driftwood to bring my creations to life.
Weekends are always a different can of worms. If you have a patio full of wood, power tools, saws, hammers and nails, the children will come and like a moth to a flame, they did.
My son decided he wanted to make a giant catapult. He’s painting it red.
Any guesses on this one? My daughter’s favorite animal, the platypus.
Here’s another little detail. I used a bottle cap and gun shell casing I found on the beach.
I plan on heading back to the beach to find a few more pieces of driftwood. Now that I’ve started this project, I know what I need. I’m looking for some head shaped pieces of driftwood and stumps if I can find any. I hate to say I’m disappointed we didn’t have any hurricanes this autumn, but there’s slim pickings on the beach!
My dining room is beginning to look like a wooden zoo. What on earth will I do with all of these sculptures when I’m finished?

They’d probably look great in your garden, peaking around some plants and shrubs.
You are absolutely right. It would make me love my garden even more!
