Spring Swap with Amy

I recently participated in Amy

(Bumble Bee Lanes)

Spring Tidings Swap.

Amy was my partner & these are

the goodies that Amy sent me.
Fabric egg & hearts, basket with
wax bunny, a mouse,
Tuscan Vineyard candle melt,
a card &
Sea Salt Caramel Latte drink mix.

Thank you Amy!
It's always fun swapping with you.

Sunflowers....

These Sunflower Screens

were all hand-painted by me.

They remind me of sunshine

during all our gloomy, snowy

weather we been having here.

They have been painted

on various sizes of old screens.

Some with wood frames

& some are just thin screens

from newer windows. 

These smaller screens are new

screens that I purchased at my Local

Menards Store. They come in various

sizes. These are ideal for hanging

on a door or if you have a 

smaller space to display them.

These all have been hand painted using

DecoArt Acrylic Paints in

various shades of yellows & greens.

Thank You for stopping by to take 

a look at my paintings.

Until next time!!

Hand Painted Snowman Screens....

Snowmen are my favorite thing
to paint. What can I say...
I just Love Snowmen!!
These were painted in
November & December for
custom order requests!!
I paint Snowmen year
 round' actually.

These are Old Window Screens.
I painted the frames also!

 This one is painted on an
Old metal Vintage Sled...

 And this one on a
Vintage Creeper..

It takes me a long time to paint 

one screen. Lots of Patience

& lots of paint!

It can take 6-9 coats of paint

for one screen. It depends on how

the customer wants it.

I seal everything with a clear

outdoor finish, so it can be 

displayed indoors or outdoors.

most customers display them on

their deck or porch.

Thanks for stopping by & 

taking a look!

Until next time!

We have had so much Snow here in

Wisconsin! I lost track of how many 

inches total. Today is a sunny day.

we had 3 inches yesterday &

the weekend is supposed to bring 

another 6-10 inches on Saturday.

I Love the snow, but I do not like to drive in it.

I usually can get one of my sons to drive 

me to work, lol!

We were without internet for a few days

in between Snowstorms.

Lots of freezing rain too!

I'm going to try to Blog more.

I have started painting more, so I will

be sharing some of that with you!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Stay Warm!

Back to Painting....

A few Health issues recently

side tracked my Love for

Painting.

Finally feeling up to getting

my Paint Brushes out &

getting back into painting.

Here's just a few things that

I  have recently painted.

A kids size Rubber Rain Boot

that was picked up from a

Thrift store. Cleaned it up well, &

hand painted some flowers & a

saying on it, sealed with a 

spar-urethane finish.

Small window screen hand

painted with an old truck & some

flowers. I have a LOVE for Old Trucks

And another small screen

with a hand painted truck

& Country Roads saying.

Have a wonderful Day!

Fall & Other Things....

This time of year is my busiest

getting ready for the Fall Craft Shows

my Paint Brushes are going

at full speed.

Heres' just a few things that I

have been working on.
These Scarecrows I cut the head out
of wood, hand painted it, added the
 hair & screwed to an old
garden tool such as a
 shovel or rake.
I screwed a thin piece of wood
to the garden tool for
the arms & slipped on a shirt
from the thrift store!

An Old window screen painted
with sunflowers...

Record Albums also painted
with sunflowers...

And an old metal folding

chair, also with sunflowers

Thanks for stopping by &
taking a look at my painting.
Until next time....
