These lovely shelves can be used both indoors or outdoors. Each shelf is different, as they use recycled timber and driftwood. We give them just a tiny bit of paint, so they keep their appeal. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="s1">It has been a busy year. I was in Cairns for the wet season at the beginning of the year. Celebrating the arrival of our new grandson and spending time with family. The season certainly held up to it's name, it was wet wet wet. Inside spare time was spent creating a couple of artworks, one is my crab, the other was an artwork for this years Cossack Exhibition.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="s1">Nothing like having a tidy up of the art studio and garden to present to the flurry of art visitors to the region. I received lots of lovely comments about my artwork. There were some guests who spent lots of time admiring our little cottage and garden as well as the art. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2 over_outline" style="color: #517080; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="s1">I added to the marine theme of my artworks, with some outside elements of driftwood artwork and my husband made a fantastic port hole door for his workshop, which looked great with a painting beside it. So a lot more effort into styling the whole place to create an interesting visit for all our guests.</span></span></div>
