I am a collector
who finds pretty shells, stones that caresses the hand and likewise feathers, but no
driftwood!
driftwood!
My mother is a collector , too... or rather a finder.
She has found a huge glass full coloured, cut glass at the strand of the River Elbe
and
a crumpled, seawater wet cloth in Denmark
a crumpled, seawater wet cloth in Denmark
which evolved itself as a Dannebrog, the Danish flag!
Even in Denmark finally my sister has found a piece of driftwood:
Probably a signal for navigation... maybe a topmast sign?
This twisted wood has found my husband at the beach of the Algarve in Portugal...
surely from a tiny unicorn?
And now, a piece of driftwood washes up at the seaside of the Castle at the Eisenbach!

Its an owl... which can be used as a candle holder

I enjoyed reading your post, very well told.
AntwortenLöschenI congratulate you. I loved it.
Whothe beautiful little redhead is?
reminds me of one of my daughters who has the same hair color :)
(now she is 28 years old, but his hair is still the same :)))))
Such poetic images, as always, Ariane. The collection of sea glass is so beautiful. Wishing you time and leisure to be painting soon!
AntwortenLöschenxxoo, sus
wonderful post Ariane
AntwortenLöschenI love the story and the images and truly that twisty stick has to be a unicorns horn.
The glass is beautiful and perhaps at christmas time a little piece of wood may drift across the seas to you. ;)
Enjoy your weekend dear Ariane

that's quite a family of collectors(finders) you have there Ariane,how our eye is caught by those weathered things and beauty is found...touching unicorn, and owls well yes they are a special kind of birds aren't they, xx
AntwortenLöschenOh, diese Leinwand ist ein wundervoller Fund! Direkt vom Strand an die Wand. Und die Einhorn-Assoziation gefällt mir auch, denn das ist es, was Treibholz für mich so faszinierend macht: es erzählt Geschichten, Märchen und regt die Fantasie an...
AntwortenLöschenSeeglas tummelt sich hier auch in diversen Gefässen, es ist für mich ähnlich faszinierend wie Treibholz.
LG, Katja
møn? der kleine leuchtturm bei den kreidefelsen?? ich bin soo oft dort langgegangen, den kopf nach unten geneigt, klackersteine, seeigel und treibholz suchend. wie sehr wünschte ich, jetzt dort zu sein!
AntwortenLöschendein post ist voll von schönheiten. das verwaschene glas, das hier auch seinen platz hat, die wundervolle leinwand, das verzauberte einhorn, die nicht-treibholz-eule, die mich fasziniert. danke, liebe ariane!!
viele liebe grüße von mano, die jetzt von møn träumt
You make beautiful pictures! I love the little unicorn and owl, they are so cute! Thank you for your nice comment on my blog, I wish you a nice week!
AntwortenLöschenA lovely post about driftwood with almost no driftwood. Beautiful.
AntwortenLöschenTolle Sachen hast du gesammelt. Die bunten Glasscherben von deiner Mutter, begegnen mir auch immer wieder und ich muss sie mitnehmen. Die Farben faszinieren mich immer wieder.
AntwortenLöschenUnd die Leinwand, was für ein Fund!
Ich hätte eine Idee für die nächste Drawing Challenge, ich weiß nur nicht genau wie das funktioniert.
Herzliche Grüße
Sabine
What wonderful collections!
AntwortenLöschen(My daughter would love your feathers)
You post made me think about all the things that drift around the world from one home or form to another- lovely!
Honestly Ariane, I love your posts. I just sit quietly enjoying slowly scrolling down and taking in the lusciousness of your story as it unfolds. It does not matter that there was no wood at first, and there was no drawing, per se, but that the heart in the story was there. I love this post!!! The flag story is amazing. Hugs, Norma, x
