DRIFTWOOD SCULPTURE

While collecting pieces of driftwood from oceans, rivers, lakes, woods and streams, also look for shells,leaves, twigs, moss, stones, etc. Clean the driftwood by rubbing with old rags or brush. Choose flat pieces for the base and build up from ther, gluing securely. Add whatever you like.

NATURAL WALL PLAQUE (or sit on desk or table)

You'll need a slab of tree bark; assorted decorative items such as dry moss, leaves, seed pods, feathers, cones, shells, etc; tacky glue; thin wire.
Lay bark on work area and decide which side you'll use. Arrange items til you're pleased. You may create an image, such as a bird, or a collage, or beach items, flower arrangement - be creative and let your imagination flow. When satisfied, glue items in place, attach wire to back for hanging. YOu may also nail or glue on a loop cut from a soda pop 6 pack holder.
Instead of a wall hanging, you may use smaller, thicker pieces of bark or wood, or even small branches to make bookends and knick-knacks to sit on tables, etc.
