Thyme to see my second Painting with Friends piece called Prim Keep Roosters

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO INTEREST
I just finished painting my second

Painting With Friends

piece.

Its called

Prim Keep Roosters

Terrye sent me this line drawing

I could choose the colors to paint it, 

 surface to  paint on, I could add to the design.

I had to provide the line drawings

of the finished piece and written directions

for  the pattern packet.

So here's what I came up with!

I painted the first rooster white

and

added a penney rug to the

bottom of the design

I then painted some watermelons

and

then I added a handpainted checkerboard

between the designs

I painted the second rooster Antique Gold

and

added some straw

I painted some strawberries

I painted the last rooster red

I added a  small rusty key to the pin keep jar

I added a small sterling silver spoon to the top

Here is what the finished design looks like

You can purchase 

PRIM KEEP ROSTER

This was a fun design to paint!

A special thank you to

Terrye French

for giving me the opportunity to
Paint With Friends!
Hugs,

Thyme to see the first design that I have painted for Painting With Friends. Its called Sunflower the Rooster !

At last ..Sunflower the Rooster

is done and made into an e-pattern!

 I painted this design

for

Painting with Friends.

Terrye French

sent me just a line drawing

I could add or subtact anything from the drawing
choose the colors and how to paint it
I had to write the directions
step by step for the painting
I also had to do all the line drawings for the pattern
with any changes I made

I also had to decide on a piece to paint the design on
so.......
this is what I started out with

I found this box at a thrift store.

It looks like maybe an old milk box?

I started to paint

taking notes as  I went along

for the directions

Sunflower the Rooster

coming to life!

Lots of

SUNFLOWERS!

This was really a fun pattern to paint!

so.....

What did it look like finished?

What did I come up with to use this box for?

here is the side of the box

the back of the box

with my signature

a close-up of

Sunflower the Rooster

this is what I put inside the box

some seed and this small scoop I found

at a thrift store

this is what I painted on the cover

this is the finished piece!

I am honored beyond words

to have my name on a pattern

with

Terrye French!

I look forward to painting more pieces

for

Painting With Friends

HAPPY PAINTING!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 

and 

at the end of the day you don't look at it

 and 

wish you had painted something different."

Thyme to see a special order sign that I have painted called Amazing Grace

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST

A customer asked me to do a special order sign

for her to give to her son and his wife as a

wedding gift

The couple are having a

"country hoe down wedding"

she said

so she asked if I could do a rooster theme

I used a Terrye French Design

called

Amazing Grace

you can find Terrye French patterns

HERE 

the customer asked that I personalize the

sign with the couples names and wedding date

I painted this little sign and added a small wooden heart with a nail,

rusty hardware

and

attached it to the large sign

I decided to add a little

"xtra something"

so I painted another small sign

that says

 Welcome

she is now able to use the interchangeable signs

any way she likes!

Hugs,

Lynn

Thyme to see a Country Home

This is a Terrye French Design

that I have painted

called

Country Home

I cut the board

and

painted it

to look like a

penney rug

this is the bottom edge of the board

I love painting

Terrye's

whimsical folk designs!

I cut out a wood star

and

used rusty wire

to attach it to the board

I painted the word

on it

I added some black check homespun

and

pinned on a

rusty bell and key

this is the finished piece

Thyme to paint Mr Cackle a design by Susan Wymola

Do you remember this picture I posted a while back?

I REALLY needed to get something

painted on this pan fast

as

my son Andrew wanted it for camping!

How would you like to see what I painted on

the large cast iron fry pan?

OK..........

Thyme to get those feathers flying!!!!!

this is a design that I have painted called

Mr Cackle

the pattern design is by

Susan Wymola

this was a really fun piece to paint

I was a little intimidated at first

to paint

Mr Cackle

as his feathers are painted

"free hand"

so I had to

"get loose"

and let those 

FEATHERS FLY

 LOL!

Mr Cackle

is a keeper!!!

He's not for sale!

I hung him in my 

DINING ROOM

Hope you enjoyed meeting

Mr. Cackle

as much as I enjoyed painting him!

Happy Painting!
