Handmade World War I- Art for sale

I have just returned from the Somme region after visiting my friend who is digger in this region. I was able to obtain this helmet from the Wood Lane region. On a brocante market in Albert, I found a nice obus in which Somme is engraved. I named the lamp "the tears of the Somme" for the untold suffering this battle inflicted on mankind.

I composed this brodie from several pieces of helmet found by my digger friend in the Passendaele region. Together with red, dark red poppies and moss green glass, they form a beautiful work. The 1916 obus in particular stands out because it is very beautifully carved with a grieving woman on it. It symbolises the suffering inflicted on many women who lost a son, husband, brother or loved one. I named this work ‘The crying woman’.
