Thyme to COOK?

Do you like to cook????
I do!


I won't be doing much cooking though
today!!
I am PAINTING!!!

I have been
 REALLY
 busy designing and painting stock for shops
This is a large
BUNCH OF CARROTS 
cut from rough sawn lumber
that I designed
They would look great on your door, porch , shed etc.
the Grungy tag says
"CaRrOtS, cArRoTs a rabbits delight

I cherish each and every bite"

I also designed these
EXTRA LARGE 
CaRrOts
They are also cut from 
rough sawn lumber
They are wired together in the center 
with
RUSTY WIRE
I added "greens" for the tops


I painted this 
BUNNY
 using
a
Renee Mullins 
design

This was a fun design to paint!


I added a homespun bow to the neck of his shirt 
and 
some twine to the 
CaRrOtS


I tied a little metal can to his hand


 I love how he came out!!!

Happy Painting!

   Do you remember my thrift store find basket
that I posted a few days ago?

I painted the bands around the basket like a watermelon
with seeds




I added a grubby stained tag and old key



This was a fun piece  to paint.
I used a design 
by 
Renee Mullins
called
Folk Art Summer Time
to paint this piece

Happy Painting!

Baath thyme and a Banner Tutorial


 This is a wreath I made
using part of a design by
Renee Mullins
You can find Renee at
 Plum Purdy Designs
I first cut out the sheep and painted him


I added a rusty star to his penney rug
and
tied a rusty bell around his neck
with  homespun


I drilled tiny holes in the sheep and
attached him to a small grapevine wreath



I made a banner for the wreath using coffee stained muslin
 I cut out a
banner shape
I stitched it together
adding a piece of
interfacing between layers

THANK YOU 
TO 

Kim Dewalt
Old Road Primitives
for the banner tutorial!

How did you spend your thyme relaxing this weekend?





This weekend I re-purposed  an old mirror
to make a frame for the Tooth Wash Remedy Char at
The Pickled Pepper Patch shared with us. 
You can find my stain mixture recipe and directions for use under labels.
