Description
This framed plaque brings a breath of the coast indoors with three little sailing boats. Each has a pair of frosted sea glass sails in pale blue and soft green, resting on a light wooden hull. Above them, the words "The sea calls to me" run across the panel in a flowing script, with a few small gulls in flight on either side. The MDF panel has a white-washed finish with a soft grain effect, and a natural wooden frame gives it a warm edge. It measures 30cm wide, 20cm tall and 2cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a shelf or a modest stretch of wall.
Hang it in a hallway, a bedroom or a favourite reading corner. You could also lean it against the wall on a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill, where the glass can catch the daylight. The white and natural colouring sits easily with coastal schemes, pale painted walls and plain wood furniture, and the soft blues and greens add a hint of colour. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for a mum who misses the seaside. It is also a kind thank you for a teacher who has gone the extra mile.
Each sail is a piece of glass set onto the panel above a small wooden hull. This means the boats stand slightly proud of the background, and the frosted glass picks up the light. On the back, two metal hangers at the top corners let it hang from a pair of picture hooks, keeping it straight on the wall. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Prop it on a shelf beside a few shells or pebbles from a favourite beach, or wrap it in tissue paper for someone who has always felt the pull of the sea.
