The House of Davlyn

A mixture of copper foil pieces, leadlight windows, woodwork, mirrors and macadamia trees come together in The House of Davlyn.

Lynn and David Dilley have set up their cluster of creations on a hobby farm on the southern outskirts of Broomehill town.

Lynn has spent the past 8 years perfecting her leadlighting and copper foiling crafts. Some of the items which adorn their home include:

  • A leadlight window in the bathroom depicting a mermaid seascape.
  • Three dimensional mirrors in a range of sizes.
  • Copper foil mobiles featuring fishes, witches, shapes, etc.

Lynn delights in teaching the art of copper foiling to the Year 7 students at Broomehill Primary School. They make mobiles with silver or antique-look finishes.

Lynn makes various pieces of jewellery for herself using the copper foiling method.

Working with paper toll and French knitting are two more of Lynn' s talents.

Her husband David concentrates on woodworking, and their 5-year-old crop of macadamia nut trees should start reaping the couple some financial rewards in the next 2-3 years.

A selection of Lynn's creations will be displayed on her stand at this year s Broomehill Aquafest in September.
