The water is a place to fish a place to relax a place to gather driftwood from the shore, C.S. Alexis loves the water, refreshing, cooling, calming, crashing waves

 

Long days playing in the sand, walking on the beach, catching fish and swimming

 

She likes to take her dogs to the water's edge, chasing sticks and biting waves, running hard and fast, kicking sand and shaking it all over everything

 

The children love to wade and they never mind the warnings about getting their shoes wet, let alone their clothing

 

picking up sea shells and laughing in the sun, wind blown hair the going style

 

they imagine giant monsters living in the deep blue sea, sharks and whales the size
of ships

 

finding bits and pieces of passers from another day, another lifetime spent upon the sands

 

no thoughts of darkness lurking, boiling, burping

 

miles from the beauty basking on the beach

 

storming, thundering thick and black and dark so dark

 

aweful, ugly, oozing, seeping sadness

 

devastation pouring pounding drifting draining out

 

pretty bad pretty bad pretty bad

 

going black, killing everything in it's path

From driftwood to artwork at Adrift Art Studio

 

One thing C.S. loves very much is driftwood. She found her first piece on the south shores of Lake Michigan and she has been hunting for unique pieces every since. She collects it. She cleans it and she makes artwork out of it.
 

Sometimes the pieces are small and she turns them in to jewelry pendants. Sometimes the pieces are very large and she has been known to turn them in to all kinds of things.
 

One thing for certain, she never gets bored with making the driftwood creations and she never gets bored with hunting the driftwood.
 

One of her favorite ways to be creative on driftwood is to add the technique of pyrography and color it up with acrylic paints. Sometimes she uses a small amount of acrylic paint and sometimes she just paints the night away.

 

This piece tells a story.
It is a very sad story. One that has not yet found an ending.

 

But she is sure it started with care less greed! Pretty Bad, Pretty? Bad? Pretty Bad......Pretty Bird, dirty bird.
