Thyme for a new Painting with Friends Design

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST

Keepers of the Pantry

is my latest design

for

Painting With Friends

I found this old set of canisters at a thrift shop

I sanded them down and painted them 

BLACK

 first

I then painted over the black with RED for a 

prim look

working on line drawings and sizing

Fronts of canisters

painting the designs and covers

The "tool" you see on the covers is my

fine line painting pen

It is a fun tool used to outline and is also a great tool for 

painting "blanket stitches" such as you see on these pennies

I painted.

This design had lots of "stitches" to paint

This was a fun pattern to do for 

PAINTING WITH FRIENDS

Here are my completed canisters

You can purchase the E-Pattern

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!

"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."

It's THYME to blog again!!!

After a blogging break I am BACK AGAIN!!!!

I now have a STUDIO in my home

step inside and I will show you around!

My STUDIO is on the first floor of our home, 

it is heated, AC, has a bathroom and laundry in it!

All I need to do is move a bed in there and I could actually live there!!!

BUT

I had a LOT of work to do

 in order to transform it into my 

STUDIO!!!

This 

WAS 

my studio

looked like when we bought the house. 

The former owner used it as his work shop.

I decided to paint the floor

I first had to remove the carpeting and clean the floors well

I then base coated the floor

BLACK

using a roller brush

After I finished base coating the floor

BLACK

I cut a TEMPLATE 

my husband and I spent many hours on our hands and knees with a roller

BUT

it was well worth it!

I have LOTS of space!

and storage!

a 

BEAUTIFUL

 view of our gardens and yard!

I hope you will stop by often 

to see what I have been painting!!!

You can now purchase my patterns by clicking on the tabs 

ABOVE!

Hugs,

Lynn
