This Rattan Lobster Wall Hanging features a base that was not handcrafted by Miffy Pittaway, a talented local coastal decor artist celebrated for her contributions to Victorian seashell art, and based in Mount Martha, Victoria 3934, Australia. Due to the challenges of sourcing rattan locally, the base of the item was purchased internationally.
This captivating marine-inspired wall artwork, crafted by Miffy Pittaway, truly reflects her dedication to Victorian seashell art. It is constructed from heavy-duty metal and is handwoven with sustainably sourced rattan material. Miffy has infused her distinctly Australian decorating style into this piece, incorporating stunning seashells collected over the past forty-two years from various locations, including Sandy Point Surf Beach, Walkerville Bay, and Waratah Bay Beaches in South Gippsland, Country Victoria, Australia.
In her late forties, Miffy Pittaway is deeply passionate about seashells and their wondrous beauty. This piece also includes pre-purchased white carrie seashells sourced internationally, along with visually stunning toffee-colored sea glass collected from the magnificent Flinders Beach in Victoria, Australia.
To emphasize the tree branches of this handcrafted piece, Miffy Pittaway has cut down 4cm and 10cm pieces of nautical boat rope and fishing flyers, collected embedded in the wet and dried seaweed of Flinders Beach, Victoria, Australia. This unique approach creates a distinctly Australian style statement with Miffy Pittaway's handcrafted Driftwood Tree Of Life Wall Hanging, truly representing her artistic flair in Victorian seashell art.
