Whale of a cutting board.

by

whaleSorry for that title. Sometimes I can get cheesy and/or punchy after having spent 47 straight hours entertaining a 2 year old. Yesterday when I showed this to my husband he said, “Why would you cut a whale!”. Having children effects you…

Anyhoo…

This whale cutting board from Dee and Lala is very cute and NOT about cutting whales at all. Here is the description of it from their website,

A cutting board that is near and dear to my heart. Created from the original design by my granddad, Carroll Alm, this whale cutting board is a tribute to his love for Scandinavian design. Rinse with warm water and mild soap. Dry immediately. Rub with mineral oil to treat wood

The fact that its a family design makes it even better!

Dee and Lala is also a letterpress with some wonderful designs, you can see them here!

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

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.
