Folksy Handmade - Abstract

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what abstract means when it comes to art and design. Not officially anyway. I know what I personally think it is, and I've put together a collection of items based on my idea of abstract, which is something represented by shapes and colour in a loose way. You might have a different idea of what abstract is. There's probably loads of interpretations. But I hope you like my selections anyway.

The menu of shop links is below the gallery, and see a selection of the items on the Pinterest board using the Folksy Handmade link -

Folksy Handmade - Boats



Lighthouse and Boat Mosaic Mirror



The boat on my Coastal Scene Mosaic Mirror



No real story behind this week's Folksy Friday. I just had a look in my shop for an item to inspire me, and I saw my Lighthouse and Boat Mosaic Mirror. Rather than do a seaside, or sea theme (which I've got on my Pinterest boards already), I decided to pick out the boat from the design and collect some more together. As usual I've tried to find them made of as many different things, in as many different ways as possible. There's fabric, ceramic, wood, glass, metal, plastic and print.
