Next one, done! . Rather than (lake) driftwood, I used old shingles from the @meadowoodns barn. It has a less ...erm... organic feel but more Thunderbird vibe, I think. The rusty bits were from the farm as well plus handmade steel-wire chain. Approx. 18 long and with chain equally as high. . . . #assemblageart #thunderbird #foundobjects #oldwood #rustymetal #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Taking photos with mirrors in'em is hard! . The first crow/raven is finished. From tip to tip about 14 but only 5ish inches high. The mirror is one of those 'up close'n'personal' types which makes the reflections kinda fun and funky. . . . #crowsandravens #assemblage #woodandmetal #originalart #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Two-part epoxy procured. Let the joining begin! . . The top one is resin (thank you @kimberleyeddy!) and my research suggests 2part epoxy will make the strongest join. The bottom has a groove cut in the birch slice for the metal head piece to go into. I may revisit this to add holes for dowels or rivets. In assemblage, problem solving is key! . . . #worksinprogress #assemblage #ravensandcrows #metalandwood #resin #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Ravens and crows. Working with found 'lakeshore' wings and rusty bits may be my very favourite thing in the world. . . #assemblage #assemblageart #foundobjects #rustybits #oldshingkes #seeingwingsinthings #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Well Don't Just Stand There This one is probably why I've been taking so long. And I'm still not sure it's there. Which likely means it'll languish on my wall until I pull it apart. As an aside, these vintage postcards are NUTZ! . . #assemblage #worksinprogress #notsureitsdone #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Hang Around Awhile I've been munging about with this (and another) piece, combining assemblage with wax incorporating original vintage postcards. . . . #assemblage #beeswax #vintage #postcards #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Finally finished these (3) floral pieces. I decided less is more and kept them super simple. A touch of pink under the wax and then the subtle yellow cast of the beeswax medium is all the colour leaving them ALMOST monochromatic. . . #almost #blackandwhite #lessismore #prettyflowers #plasterandwax #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden

Lest you think it's all puppies round here (okay. let's be real. totally all puppies.) spent an hour in the studio this morning (thanks @myacadianforest ).This was for the Grandmother Project which I'm likely too late for but thought I'd continue anyway. . . #grandmotherproject #worksinprogress #blackandwhite #collaborations #artistlife #mixedmedia #contemporary #artistsofinstagram #handmade #canadianartist #novascotianartist #jjworden
