"SHORETHINGS" Here are a few pictures of handmade items all crafted from timber found on the foreshore in South Devon. All the pieces vary in appearance and shape depending on the raw material.I can "manufacture" items to your own needs! The timber will often dictate the finished product - I quite often see a piece of wood lying on the foreshore that is ideal for either a sconce, a candle stick or even a picture frame. When I get it back home it may turn into something quite different! You will find similar things in your craft shops - but at vastly different prices. The lamps for instance  can cost well over £100.00.

This candlstick is about 18 inches tall Made from two contrasting coloured woods on a simulated stone base. Typical price - £20.00

This lamp is again about 18 inches tall with a simulated stone base. This particular lamp is priced at £35.00

This sconce is about 10 inches tall - I make many of these and the prices range from £10 to about £30. It has a tea light in an  iron and glass holder and they are generally wall mounted
