When it evolves from a place to sit.. into a work of art in its own right! I spotted this bench, how could I not.. at the art exhibition I went to a few weekends ago and immediately thought of Malyss who lives in beautiful Nice and delights us not only with her images but her wonderfully poetic descriptions. This bench looks like it's had many layers of colourful paint over the years that have been allowed to weather and peel to perfection, pull it in to see the swan detail on the legs above.. not a bad view over the Swan River below either. Happy Tuesday, take care..
That really is a photogenic bench.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean, Grace. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery whimsical, very cool! I think you'd have to perch on this bench, not sit! :)
ReplyDeleteWe too carry the daubs and splatters of life, G!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup
It is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteWow, Grace, that's a bench !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless. Wow is the operative word here.
ReplyDeleteThis bench seems to be made from many things; Each piece has its own history, and the result is a master piece , telling a lot of things! Great find , dear Gracie ! and thank you for linking ! ♥
ReplyDeleteI hope nobody ever touches it, it's so pretty as it is! Shabby chic and oh but why do you have to turn around? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe lower part looks like a Singer-Sewing machine! Or, no.. it got you black Swans as a label?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in any case!
Fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteA nice bench! Wish you a good new week.
ReplyDeleteIt has been creatively put together!
ReplyDeletelove this bench...it would be perfect in my yard :)
ReplyDeleteThe perfect bench for a garden.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Looks like it has been made of many found pieces, Grace.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to try something like this....
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of an artist's palette, enough so that I'd check carefully before sitting down.
ReplyDeleteAw, so nice. xx
ReplyDeleteTime has treated this seat very kindly in the aesthetics department
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty nice bench, Grace.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was made with an old sewing machine. Very pretty, and of course the view is wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting eye you have! My first reaction to photo number 1 was that it looks like something deliberately decorated to catch the eye, and photo number 2 was a revelation. A great bit of artistic "tension" in the pair... but as Bob Crowe says, I would be reluctant to sit on it [which might be a relief for the bench.]
ReplyDeleteCrazy...I like it, perfect for river watching.
ReplyDeleteLove it Grace. Created by a very talented artist.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this bench!
ReplyDeleteIt is an absolutely wonderful find Grace! I'm so glad you shared it with us.
ReplyDeleteVintage, salvage, very boho chic Grace!
ReplyDeletewhat a great little bench. That would have stopped me to take a photo too!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Reminds me of my Dad who loved to build something useful and sometimes beautiful out of other peoples discards.
ReplyDeleteLovely benche. I love benches, as so many, too.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Lovely bench! Arianna
