Anyway, over a period of time, he amassed a lovely collection of memories whilst sharing exquisite bottles of wine...and corks. He handed them over to me knowing I would make something with them and so I did! Ready for it...? I made a CORKBOARD! Super original, I know. ;) We recently moved into a home which provides me with my very own work studio, and I was in need of a place to pin my inspirational finds right where I could see them and draw from them.
Using a basic white glue, I placed (what were once) single corks beside one another and fixed them into permanent relationships! As the line of my corks grew longer, I realized I would need a way to support them on the backside. Originally, I intended to use a strip of wood, and have been waiting to find the right piece. Today my patience for waiting ran out, and I used some corset boning I had lying around. Once I had affixed it to the back of the corks with tacks, I nailed it to the wall and took a picture...see?
