Architecture Art Design has taken this idea to the next level by converting a simple split log into an elegant tealight holder, which is a perfect example of how nature can inspire creativity.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.
