Puffin "shelf" and "planter"

 

I’ve made two wooden “shelves” by sawing in half a 8”- 10” diameter wooden bowl, bought from a charity shop. The depth of the bowl is 10cm. I’ve made a puffin design on this half. 

To fix the half-bowl to a wall, there are two mirror plates, which you can screw onto the wall (wall plugs and screws provided). Or - as shown in the photos - I’ve added picture cord so it could be more temporary, and hang on the wall. It could also be a free-standing planter …e.g. on a window sill.
I varnished the two half-bowls before adding this design, and I varnished the puffin welly after painting. The second half bowl is to be a Highland Cow design!

Below are two finished "half shelves" which are also for sale: Bugs and Bees.

 

Highland Cattle

 

Approx. measurements:

The rectangular board   is 12” (30cm) x 9” (23cm), and the depth is 5cm. Weight 810g.

There are two coat hooks, plus wall plugs and screws should you wish to make it a permanent fixture on a wall. As a temporary measure, there is a picture cord to hang the mosaic. 

FOR SALE: £30 

These are my latest mosaics, with the circular one as a commission. Please email if you are interested in owning one of these - or if you would like me to design one for you.

I've also finished 5 Highland Cow coasters - £8 each.  

I bought wooden cow “outlines” and made coasters by painting a part of a piece of slate or pebble with brown acrylic paint, and gluing a piece of leather onto the back of three of them, before glueing on the cow’s head. The other two square slate coasters already had “feet” in each corner to slightly raise them from a surface.
