Thinking about the boats

You have to know that, when I walk between the trees in the forest, I like to collect some little treasures like feathers, little rocks or pieces of wood that has an interesting form. Everytime I came back at home I stored those treasures in a corner, because I know they can be part of some of my works ^_^

This morning I used an old piece of a branch that I found under the trees in a forest close to my city and I started to think about a boat!

The previous pic is not so good, but I love this sort of "boat". I painted some white and blue stripes on the wood and I made the 3 sails using the recycled  paper of some tea bag, so those sails are very interesting shades of colors.

It's a prototype and I think to make others pieces similar to this, using smaller pieces of wood.

As usual, I took some pics of the process too! ^_^
