Seahorse on board

 

My lovely friend Mikel, based in the beautiful Basque Country, chose a little seahorse for his cover. Et voilá, here you can see it swimming and floating around…

 

Under the Christmas Tree soon…

Alexander wanted a board bag for his girlfriend. All very secret. Santa Claus is coming sooooooonnnnn…!

 

 

Green as hope

These covers I made for two brothers: Steven and Andy. Both wanted green. Colour of hope. Good Karma.

 

The japanese one

Mathias was asking for a 6´6 red board cover with some 70´s flowers on the nose- here we go!!! And when get a bit closer you´ll find that a slight japanese touch in the upper part...

 

 

White Happiness

Florian asked me for a cream/white board bag, that was all. No other colours. Simpleness. Cool.

 

 

Skeleton Sea Project

Last month we drove all the way up to Ericeira/Portugal to be part of the Skeleton Sea Project for a week making board covers and wooden surfboards.

Sun, massive waves and galao were part of the trip. Some rain as well, heavy rain…!!!

These are the results of a week working at the Skeleton Sea Gallery:

 

and a mini handplane made by five years old Jaku…

Autumn just arrived

This board bag is full of a fresh breeze, indian summer leaves, the smell of damp soil, cackling geese and a splash of cornish sea water.

 

 

El Clásico

This cover is simply classic: White stripes on blue canvas. I can hear the chanty choir singing somewhere. Ahoy!

 

Manneken Pis

Antoine made his way from Brussels to Cornwall to glass a surfboard and pick up his cream- green boardbag… He went back to Belgium with a smile on his face and ordered another cover.

After the summer…getting creative again

 

The summer is not really over yet, although you can already feel a fresh breeze in the air, especially in the evenings…the days are getting shorter, people coming back from their summer holidays- taned, relaxed, having felt the warmth of the sun in their bodies. So do I feel. After three wonderful and inspiring weeks in Scotland I´m feeling full of good energy, ready to start some nice SALTY BUDS BOARDBAGS.

The first one I started with was for my friend Adam from Native Oak. He said: “You can chose the colours, find something that fit to me…”. I bought the fabrics, sewed all pieces together and- he really liked the result!Happy days!

 

 

The second boardbag I wanted to make for myself. Here it is:

Posh red velvet with an old beige flower curtain for nose and tail. 

 

Mustard yellow combined with a brown nose…

 

I made this retro looking boardbag for Gog from Hamburg.

He wanted something masculine, so I experimented a bit with this yellow, playful fabric and combined it with a plain- coloured, water- repellent brown and I was lucky: He loves it!

 

 

Entwining leaves.

 

Entwining leaves, previously a curtain. Wood. Old Stone. A cornish evening. Peace on earth.
