*Crafting Complete! ✅ - Another set out of The Workshop*
Matching large & small(er!) hardwood bee wood art pieces - OFF TO THE CUSTOMER ✅🥳
Hi all, I’d posted a few weeks ago about a conversation I had with a local lady about potentially producing a 🐝 themed wood art piece as a gift. It was an idea that had been knocking about in the back of my head for a long while already - and this was just the excuse for making it.
The initial larger piece was planned to be roughly 70cm x 50cm. Nearing the end of the process a comment was made along the lines of “I might keep it for myself” to which I replied “I could always make a matching smaller piece” and that was that… 🫣🤣. The second piece came out at around 40cm x 50cm.
So I’m really humbled to share the finished pieces.
- Hand stencilled, cut and finished solid oak honeycomb patterned foreground finished in Fiddes Woodfinishes Jacobean and Rugger Brown wax
- Mounted on tulip backing boards supplied by the awesome mob at Timeless furniture designs
- And to finish the pieces, 2x handcrafted copper bees commissioned from Copperhead Craft
I don’t mind saying that I’m suffering from massive Imposter Syndrome these past days. Making something to get the creativity out of my head is one thing, but the privilege of making something for somebody else knowing that they feel strongly enough about it to have it in their own home messes with my head somewhat 😵💫🫣😬.
Anyway, some photos of the process for you. Hope you enjoy them, I loved the journey of crafting them 🪚🪵 and a massive public thank you for all that helped 🙏🤝. If you have the seeds of a wood based art piece, let me know. It’d be awesome to chat over a coffee.
Thanks for looking.
Tuan 🙏🫶🏽🥳🐝
