In a response to yesterday's post "Brown" I received a request to show some wooden accessories. I really like requests like these because they stimulate me to create new still lifes, while at the same time I discover new arrangements for my own home hihi :))
I shamelessly combine all kinds of wood :) Like here; the Buddha and the dark plate are made from the same coloured wood as the side table and the second plate. By repeating the colours it becomes a unity. To underline the balance I used two similar lamps on each side of the Buddha.
Here I used the same side table, this time with a huge Yogi man (Orang Malu). The wood of the sculpture returns in the book ends and the flower pot. The orange of the pillows is repeated in the books and the green of the plant adds some life to the still life :)
My personal favorite wooden accessories are these wood carved boxes from Indonesia. They show such beautiful detail and colours in all shades of brown!
The desert rose (Gypsum) matches all kinds of wood through its powdery soft colours and beautiful shapes. These ones I have had for years and they still intrigue me.
So far today's entry, I hope it gave you some inspiration. I wish you all a very creative weekend :))
