Little Driftwood Fish

This little handcrafted driftwood fish wall hanging has been carefully made from materials collected along the tide line of various beaches on the Dorset Coast by artist Rachel White.

Great in any setting, the design is created from interwoven pieces of naturally textured  and worn driftwood, seashells and other shoreline treasures that include fossils and sea glass.

Rachel is a driftwood and strandline artist living in Weymouth with her husband, a retired seaman, just a mile from the sea.

Made in her workshop studio, she sources her materials from local beaches and bays along the Jurassic Coast of West Dorset, England.

Her creations use only natural ‘as found’ driftwood pieces - in other words driftwood which has not been shaped or altered in any way.

Rachel’s art work in is regularly exhibited in galleries around the southwest. Recently one of her amazing pieces was chosen to decorate the kitchen set of ‘Ainsley’s Good Mood Food' on TV.

Her signature driftwood artwork often includes tiny interwoven found objects to add interest to her pieces, such as sea glass, small shells and on occasion finds such as beach pottery fragments, fossils or beach metal.

The images show the actual item to be dispatched. Each piece is signed by the artist, stamped and bears a handwritten strung tag describing its provenance.
