I Decided To Do Something That Would Get Me Away From The Computer, So I Started Making Driftwood Portraits (8 Pics)
I'm an author and programmer. This summer I decided to do something that would get me away from the computer and out of the office. Our local beach is covered in driftwood. Every piece contains a history in its contours. Combining them tells a unique and secret story. The character in these portraits arises from the aggregate of the experiences of each of the pieces they are made from. Can you see their stories?
They are all around 20" x 18" x 10" (about twice the size of a human face) and hang on the wall.

They look really detailed and it seems you put a lot of hard work into it. At least you got away from your computer! (...unlike me)

Definitely good to check but luckily it's allowed where I live. No laws broken in the creation of these portraits ;)

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but you may want to check your local laws. Collecting driftwood is illegal in a lot of places. I do think your creations are amazing though. I wouldn't have the patience.
