On Sunday, we went to the 20th Annual Sarasota Arts & Crafts Festival where we met Bruce Trewyn who repurposes things on purpose.
Like this fantastic fish.
And this pair of manatee.

When you get to his site, click on the “Before & After” link to see an adorable dog made from a repurposed lamp.
Aah . . . that’s better!

Some lovely pieces there, Nancy. My favourite from his gallery is the snail. Sweet!
That snail is adorable and so unique. I giggled at the moose, the frog, and the spiral dachshund dog.
I like the the spiral dachshund too.
Love his eye for detail.
Love these pieces Nancy! I’ll check out his website 🙂
Bruce has only been working on his creations for 2 years ~ I love the variety and character of his pieces.
These are great, Nancy! I love the snail too. Thanks for sharing Bruce’s work!
The Sailfish we saw was great too ~ as an added bonus, it retired a number of copper gelatin molds.
My mother used to make some nasty aspics in her molds. 😛
Love seeing people’s creativity at work. That dog is just delightful.
I sometimes come across interesting objects and think, “How could I transform this into something else?”
Bruce takes that thought one step further.
How neat! I love to see how creative others are, and Bruce ranks really high up there!
We didn’t adopt any of his creative creatures, but we found them exquisite and filled with re-purposed purpose.
Owlvis is darling!
Yes! What Bright Red Eyes he has!
He is my favorite!
Owlvis is a cool cross between a nocturnal bird and the King.
I wish I was this creative!
He’s only been at it for 2 years . . . but what a gallery of creations he’s created in that short time.
Fantastic!
Nice creations!
We’re looking forward to seeing his creative critters again in November at an Art Show on Anna Maria Island.
Love! Saw some copper mermaid wall art on the island this weekend and fell in love with them.
It’s great when creatives create with creativity. Hope you enjoyed your time on Ocracoke.
He could design creatures for the world’s first steampunk kid’s movie.
I’ll suggest that to him when we see him in November. 😛
Hollywood needs some fresh ideas.
You can say that again! Last night, we watched MAKERS: Women in Hollywood ~> Hollywood’s track record is abysmal when it comes to embracing diversity.
fantastic fishes! my favourite being the hogfish – very creative!
He’s got quite an eye for re-purposing objects and creating object d’art.
He is very creative. I like the Moose. I suppose it was difficult to resist touching he’s work.
I did resist. And I also asked for permission to snap these 3 photos to share here. He appreciated my restraint.
Nancy, these are awesomeness defined!! I just love people who can see things in the ordinary and create such fun things. I love the owl and the moose (have I mentioned my inner Moose to you before?) is quite compelling too. Thanks!!!!
Yes! We share a “Cool as a Moose” love affair with Bar Harbor!
That’s right!
I love these Nancy – Bruce is a very talented man, and his sense of humor comes through in his art!
That’s what I love about it ~ that sense of whimsy and fun.
I do love these creations! Who wouldn’t be charmed by a copper manatee! Charming! I thought I’d tell you that I’m watching “Women in Comedy” right now. I found the series you recommended and think I’ll be able to access all the episodes. It’s excellent! So many “rules” for women in comedy that I have never considered. I’m so glad you posted your review and recommendation!
The manatees caught my eye and captured my heart. I’m glad Bruce let me share his work here.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the series, Debra. We watched Women in Hollywood on Tuesday. Another eye opener about struggles women have faced even after raking $$$’s in at the Box Office.
My mother-in-law would enjoy his art – she’s into anything ‘fish’! The manatee are cute – made me smile 🙂
The other animals on his website are darling ~ the frog, the mouse, the dachshund doggies.
I didn’t see a javelina or a chupacabra.
I love people who do this kind of work. What a creative being he is. I checked out the ‘before and after’ dog – excellent! 😀
Isn’t that dog special?
I e-mailed the link to this post to Bruce today so he can enjoy all the positive feedback generated by his creative creations.
I like when people can use their imagination and create such intriguing and fascinating art pieces out of found objects! Wow!
I feel just the same. Glad you enjoyed seeing Bruce’s Copper Critters.
