Today I went to the charity shop for the first visit of 2020 and of course came back with lots of loot including Bubble and Squeak! :P
These two pieces caught my eye for some reason and when asking about the price I was told I could have them for free as I bought something else along with them.
The smaller dolphin(Squeak) seems to be made out of individual pieces of carved wood and has no marks on it so I guess it's a souvenir piece from somewhere? I have seen whales done like this too...
The second dolphin(Bubble) is made from metal and roughly painted in gold- it's got a mark on the back that says it's a piece of handcrafted metal made in Co. Offaly Ireland which is cool! As for the metal it is I'm not sure though it feels like a piece of painted copper or steel? For some reason their 'primitive' looks drew me in, kinda like a piece of folk art maybe? And the lovely purple brown and muted greens of the metal dolphin really appealed to me.
I love your dolphins Lauren they are beautiful, how great that you found them at the same time! Perfectly shaped as well, what a super New Year find
Thanks Jenni! Ya I think so too! :)
