Wooden Blocks of Art

The awesome thing about having a dad with a woodworkers shop- is that I get to make art with wood. So that's what I'm starting to do now. I've just completed my first one called "Colours". It's the size of 3 regular polaroids. They have a groove cut in the back for hanging. I think these ones I want to keep together, so they will be sold as a set. I don't even know how much they should be- you tell me? They look like polaroids, but they are wood! I will also be making large scale polaroids of wood like this. I'm going to try and come up with some ideas as to what kind of subject to paint on them. And I'll do custom ones too if you so want. The next project 13" wooden polaroids!

             "Colours" $SOLD (handmade/painted wooden polaroids)
