I used Pottery Barn’s front cover as inspiration for the first one.

Pardon the picture of my actual Pottery Barn catalogue…. See that sign in the upper right hand corner? I like it.

So, driftwood hunk #1 became this:

The next one I wanted to look sort of like the markings on a sail. Here’s how it turned out:

I may also, perhaps, accessorize these two beauties with some boat cleats and rope… They would also be neat with a big ol’ hole drilled into the top to fit a tea light in. The possibilities are quite endless!
