CastawaysHall

I started my shop on Etsy in 2010 after designing and building large and small furniture pieces from the bottom up and recycled pieces. I also did store displays and windows for many years. I wanted a creative outlet to sell my assemblage art and smaller pieces so I opened up CastawaysHall & The Sea of ODD. I've always tried create things that are different from everyone else. I love anything that has to do with the ocean, beach, seashells, island style oddities, or turquoise in colour so I knew what my store theme was going to be right away. One of my favourite things to do is to take something old and making it into something new. Taking odd, unusual objects and bits and pieces of hardware and assembling them into a work of art. You can see that in my Sea of ODD creatures in my shop and the sander paintings that I do on old doors and wood. I also love vintage. I usually have about 10 different projects on the go at once and my work tables are alway in chaos, but I realize that I work best in a mess. That will probably never change. My work is always evolving so check back often to find some new.

As an artist, small business and in fairness to all of my previous customers, I have made it a policy not to discount my work or do sales. I try to price all of my work well to start with, considering the lengthy process from design to production, hunting and curating to packing supplies and shipping. Shipping is always more than the amount I charge to the customer, so I pay the difference myself at the actual time of shipping, so you save there.
