It is thyme for a WINTRY DAY


WINTRY DAY 
is a new design
 inspired 
by 
Terrye French
and
painted by me for
Painting With Friends



Terrye French 
designed this piece many years ago 
but
 never made it into a pattern
She sent me this photo as 
"inspiration"
to put the design into an E-Pattern


I decided to call my project
WINTRY DAY
It was a fun packet to put together and paint!
I hope you have fun with it also!

Years ago I had purchased this
 SHEEP checkerboard 
as an unfinished wood packet
I decided to use it as a 
TEMPLATE 
to create the SHEEP shape for
WINTRY DAY



I changed it up a bit and made the legs detachable like Terrye's


I do a lot of
 DRY brushing 
when painting



It gives a "softer" look



This was really a fun piece to paint



When painting this piece I added lots of
 sparkle using 
DIAMOND DUST!



I decided to attach my 
SHEEP
to a grapevine wreath
I added lots of various greens and berries



AND
 Of course more 
DIAMOND DUST
for
sparkle!!!!


I then made a 
WINTRY DAYS  BANNER
for
my wreath



I included a
 TUTORIAL
on
 banner making 
in the packet!


Banners are so much fun to make


 and 
can be used for so many projects!!!


I even decided to make some
SHEEP


bowl fillers!!!



 using my favorite
cinnamon ornamental dough recipe


I hope you enjoy painting 
WINTRY DAY
as much as I have!!!



You can purchase 
my
WINTRY DAY 
e-pattern


Happy Painting!

Thyme for an AMERICANA Rooster

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST
I love painting
AMERICANA
I did this piece as a 
SPECIAL ORDER
for a customer

 

I had an old cabinet door


I painted it with a
CRACKLE 
FINISH

I then drew and cut out a 
ROOSTER SHAPE
and 
ARROW

I painted my rooster
like a
FLAG
I painted wooden stars 
RED, WHITE AND BLUE
I drilled holes in them
I made a 
GARLAND 
with
rusty wire and bells

I wrapped the rusty wire around the roosters body
I added a tag that said
AMERICANA

I attached the rooster and arrow to my cabinet door

Here is the finished piece!
Hugs,
Lynn
