Art In The Making?

    Every now and again, I find something that strikes a notion in my brain..."I can use that!"  Although, I have no earthly idea just how the item will be used, it is toted home and stuck aside while those wheels in the brain turn and turn.  Eventually, some creative notion shapes and the "thing" is put to good use.  Usually.  Occasionally, the item either goes back where I found it (if it a natural occurring thing), I give it to someone who will use it or I discard it.  Those choices are easy.  The hard part is to never pick it up in the first place.

  This morning, there was not much going on in the way of a sunrise nor were there any critters doing spectacular things to divert my attention.  A lone piece of driftwood was the only thing that caught my eye.  "I NEED that!" my brain told me.  "Get it!"....so I did.  A knot of pine was fished out of the mud and rinsed clean.  After sitting in the sun for a while, the piece of wood dried out nicely and appears in much better condition than I originally thought.  It has a very attractive shape and some interesting worm holes and barnacles for added flair.  Now, to figure out just how to use this fine piece!  Perhaps some bauble could be framed in that center hole????
