Just back from a weekend on the road, not too far this time. A quick look at France and the Low Countries and a van load of lovely things to bring home. I’ve cleaned and posted some of the smaller things, including this lovely wall sculpture by the Belgian artist D’Haeseleer.

It’s been a while since I found any of these amazing pieces. I’m always astounded by the work that goes into them, every leaf and blade of grass is  braised onto the copper frame by hand, each tree needing hundreds of individual welds. This one has a really lovely plump naive style to it, not really metal tropic, more metal temperate, a fairy tale tree!
