"Just Not A Good Day Unless It Is A Creative One"

My latest created design,

botanic garden theatre, altar~shrine,

built from salvage woods. Antique with 100 year old wood,

embellished with salvage drawer pulls for to use of 

roof top finials.

Backdrop wall is artist papered, with vintage French 

ephemera book pages. Artist weathered with a decay

feeling of centuries old. 

I paint stain in a wash of tones, using a plastering technique

 I developed for this hauntingly aged look.

Distressed in all the right kind of rightness that

 touches the edge of my soul. 

Artistic accents

Ready to hang

Barn Swallows

Created with salvage barn wood, Cartapesta,

wire, twigs, and vintage book ephemera art.

Wall Hanging

13" 1/2 height x 4" 3/4 width

 Cartapesta Nest and Eggs

Hand molded and hand painted eggs.

The swallow builds a cup nest from mud pellets in

barns or similar structures.They feed on insects 

in flight.

There are cultural references to the barn swallow

in literary and religious works due to both its

 living in close proximity to humans and

its annual migration.

Creating With Salvage

 Botanic Theatre, Shrine, Altar, Niche

Latest pieces in my creative arts.

The Writer Of Burlap Luxe

 Creating with salvage wood pieces 100 year old woods.

I collect old wood fragments, boxes, picture frames,

drawer pulls for the use of finials.

Old paper ephemera that wall paper backdrop, 

giving it a hauntingly beautiful age of decay.

Poetry book pages from antique tattered books,

become part of my wallpapers.

Aged and given all the rightness in its decayed abandoned

 feel.

The passion and heart that goes into creating with

salvage woods, that most see as being nothing 

more then useless.

I see the sweet love of what is to become.

I love creating shrine-altar like pieces of

art.

Beautiful pieces of wood.

Salvage antique picture frames, old chair spindles,

vintage French cheese boxes, and wire and metal

fragments. All come together artfully.

French Theatrics Of Salvage

 BURLAP LUXE DESIGNS

My latest theatre of the arts, I design and create from

 rustic salvage wood.

Along with my bending of wire art and paper doll and 

cartapesta mice.

 

 Salvage Wood

Chosen and cut to dimensions, using the best pieces showing

signs of weathered and decaying inspiration.

Every piece gets wood glued and screwed, adding all the

rightness to a French theatre of song and

dance.

  

Theatre Taking Shape 

 Moldings, picture frames, chair rungs and drawer pulls for finials

are often found in pieces of furniture I salvage from their past.

History in such pieces inspire my art in building forgotten

 treasured play.

This Theatre hangs on a wall.

22" in height x 17" in width x 6" in depth.

 Ephemera

Vintage paper ephemera I collect, papering a backdrop wall.

Yet, I nudge along its brittle aged look with tearing and

piecing it together so this wall takes on a look

of centuries old.

 

 Paint And Tattered Curtians

A paint treatment I give it to preserve each piece rustically.

I have still yet to lay the planked stage flooring, adding

a bit more moldings and its vintage music box

under the stage base.

Hopeful in completion soon, old wood salvage finds can not be

rushed.

French Holiday Home...Oysters And Tree

Burlap Luxe Home

Season greets with a simple greeting of the use of a

natural pine, beaded garlands and silver glass crusty and 

aged to feel decayed in ancient times.

  

Natural tones of tree bark beige and

tarnished grey.

Wrapped up and tied in twine.

 

 Oyster Garland

30 foot garland for your holiday tree, or drape it in

French culinary style from your farmhouse beams, 

as well as styling for a beach style wedding.

You will find this latest creation of mine, hand-

knit and weaved through a hand drilled hole

in each oyster shell.
