Woodwork Wednesday

Remembered this time.  These are from my brother's woodshed, its outside structure.  It's made from all sorts of odds and ends of salvaged and rough cut wood,


with nails and bark and wire and other hardware and ironmongery, 


and nature remaining and appearing in the cracks.


And after a bit, things, characters even, start to appear in it, and out of it.



Some of the shapes look rather sinister,


 to speak frankly, some should be censored.


The one below my brother put to one side and nailed up as decoration; she is perhaps some kind of owl goddess...


whereas we wondered if we ought to tell the Vatican about this last one.


Happy Woodwork Wednesday!

I agree with zephyr! They're all great but the last one could make someone a nice shrine piece. :)

Hi Lucy,
Catching up on your blog has been very enjoyable: a feast of wonderful photographs, which are revelatory. I love the wood work ones.
Joyce was mesmerised by your post on the straw earrings.
Thinking up a Christmas blog post is a good challange and I hope to rise to it soon. In the mean time A Happy Christmas to you and your family.
