I have completed the post assemblage for our friend Karen. The post is titled The Swordly Post as it is to be installed in the grounds of the former Swordly mill and reflects her home there. The post tells stories of sea, sun and home. The sea story is reflected in some of the sea glass that Karen collected and the fish that appeared in rusted wire collected on a beach walk. The sun story is partly told by the sun symbol and spiral retrieved from a car window winding gear - another of Karen’s finds. Home is reflected through old rusted gate pieces and horse-donkey shoes to reflect the animals that share Karen and Brian’s home - a home created by and for them.
In this blog post I share a few images of details of the post. Maybe Karen will share images after it is installed.
The post as it stood in the wee workshop before being collected.
It was a joy to create this post from pieces gathered by and with meaning for Karen
I never would have guessed that was a car window gear ... and goodness, the post looks to be 10 feet tall!
