Two Artists gather materials from beach!




Rudie
The two artists and friends gather materials on the beaches near their home in Alanya, on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, and sell the finished products under the name Yalos Alanya, from the Greek word that locals have adopted to refer to driftwood. Their whimsical designs also include sculptures and wall decorations of fish, birds, and other animals, as well as human figures, all crafted with the same philosophy:

"When They pick up 'the beached,' as we call them, the artistic work has already been done. Our job is only to put together and to bring out the beauty perfectly created by nature."
Please see more here you won't be dispointed outstanding!

Quote by~Emily Dickinson
Beauty is not caused. It is.
