AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Carved Wood Fantasy in Monochrome


Collage of one of my treasured, unusual pieces of artwork.
Woods include maple, white pine and cedar.
It was bought some years ago at Goldies Crafts in Kiama, New South Wales
The wires behind are from my stereo.
This was the only place where the piece would stand with support from the bar below the table.
But the wires seemed to add extra interest to the monochrome.

Tiny wild creature
Peeks timidly from carved woods
Like a wise small owl
