Thankful for completed orders!!! Enjoy...

Well, I have a few more orders completed and managed to sneak in a "trial" painting. Let me tell you about the trial first. It is pictured below and is my first attempt at a cute personalized "Necklace Holder". Fitted with 4 cup hooks for hanging this is the perfect way to display your necklaces while keep them out of a tangled mess! Could be painted in a variety of patterns and colors... the possibilities are endless. I am dreaming of a "three tier set" to include the size pictured below plus one smaller for bracelets and one taller for the longer necklaces and accessories. What do you think? I would love to hear your feedback so be sure to comment :)

8x8 flat canvas B for my niece


5x7 "Valentine" for my best friend, Lane! (Valentines came in November this year :) )


8x10 FSU Seminoles canvas for a new little Nole!

A very important order from my husband! He wanted the Noles Spear on his hard hat so I painted one on both sides and put his old number on the back :)

Fun!

Hello Studio Blog.... It's been a while since I've posted anything! I finished all of my standing orders and they were pretty much repeats of some past work so I didn't take any new pictures. However, for the first time in a long time I was able to just "play paint" last night for myself and for fun. Here is an 11x14 stretched canvas I did for our front door. The green "Line with polka dots" is actually ribbon. I plan to embellish it a bit more tonight.

Below that one is a new idea I am playing around with. Since we live in a small home with no fireplace there isn't a good place to hang our Christmas Stockings.... hence this little diddy. Clearly it is unfinished, but I had to give you a sneak peak anyway. I think I will need to space the knobs out more on the next one. I also plan to do a glitter glaze on the word "Stockings". This is an 18x8 piece of MDF which I painted and my sweet hubby Jon drilled holes for my cute black knobs/stocking hangers!

Let me know what you think!!!
