“Cool driftwood! What can I make with it?” If you’ve ever said that, this video on the Top 30 Driftwood Artists on ETSY is for you!
There’s just something about driftwood, isn’t there? You’re walking along the beach and a particularly cool stick strikes your eye.
But it’s not just a stick, is it? A stick is something that you chop off of your hedges when you’re trimming them up to look nice. But driftwood… driftwood is art.
Sure, that cool and funky piece of wood that you pick up at the beach may have started its life as something trimmed from someone’s bushes. Who knows?
But what started out as an ordinary little stick has been tossing and turning in an ocean or a lake or a river until it is smoothed out and shaped in the most interesting ways.
And then someone comes across it and says, “Cool driftwood! What can I make with it?” And there we have driftwood art.
One of the best places to find driftwood art, apart from some tiny seaside boutique is Etsy. It’s absolutely amazing how many driftwood artists have a home there. And since I am pretty obsessed with any beach-related art, I’ve looked through a whole lot of pages of driftwood art.
And a lot of it is incredible! So, I went through my bookmarks to pick out the folks who I would consider the 30 best driftwood artists on that site. Then I wrote a blog for it for my site Seashell Madness. seashellmadness.com/driftwood...
Then I turned the images from those great artists’ artwork and made a slide-show style video. Which is what I bring to you here on youtube today!
(I also have blogs/videos about:
BEACH RESIN ARTISTS - seashellmadness.com/best-resi...
BEACH PAINTERS - seashellmadness.com/best-beac...
and SEASHELL ARTISTS! - seashellmadness.com/best-seas... )
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this video and that you’ll check out these artists’ work!
By the way, I should mention that I’m now an Etsy affiliate. What this means is that if you follow some of my links and then end up buying something there, then I may get a small commission (at no cost to you or the artist - Etsy foots the bill for that one!). And if that happens, thanks!
Also, since I respect artists’ rights, I checked the Etsy TOS before using any images. Luckily, images can be legally used in blogs and videos as long as there is a link back to the artist - which is something I had planned to do anyway! Very cool!
