For Kirsty Elson, a sliver of driftwood or a scrap of metal is more than just a piece of detritus or trash. She sees a sleepy goat in some old nails and hunks of worn timber or a docile and curious donkey from rusty rods and brush bristles.
Elson has long been attracted to found objects, giving old elements new life. She previouslyfocused on creating small cottages and seaside scenes, but recently she has shifted her attention to expressive,
whimsical animals, which perch on pegs, roll on wheels, or warm themselves with little scarves.
“I’m thoroughly enjoying this new path, as I can be even more playful and inject some humor into my work,” the artist says, “which I think is a nice distraction in these troubled times.”

Wishing you & yours a safe, Happy Memorial Day!

Jacki, that's another favorite collage.
These driftwood animals are just so cute. I admire the creativity and phantasy of this artist. I just started following her on instagram. Thanks for the link.
And last but not least I love each smile of today, Jacki!
Thank you, Elenor. I am so glad you liked it, you make my day with your kind words.
Almost looks woven. :-)
Thanks John. This was an easy one. Isn't it funny how that happens?
