Mini Cardinal Windchime - Renee Mullins

Hi everyone!

Today I have a Mini Cardinal Windchime to share with you all. 

This is designed by Renee Mullins and the pattern is called "Winter Melody". You can find it here.  

I know Christmas is months away, but I wanted to make something small and this project seemed to fit in. And besides you can paint Christmas things any time of year can't you? ;) 

I painted the design with Americana Acrylic paints.
The back has been stained with Minwax.
The item has been sprayed front and back with a clear glossy sealer, so it's safe to hang outside. It comes with a gold hanger attached and is ready to hang.

I have put togeher a step by step video for you as well.

I have two of these available for sale that you can find on my For Sale page.

If you have questions about anything please feel free to contact me. 

I hope I have enspired you today!

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Love Is In The Air - Laurie Speltz

Hi everyone! 

Today I have a new project to share with you all. 

This is my first painting, designed by Laurie Speltz. 

I've wanted to paint this project for quite a while because you can display this piece in your home from Christmas through Valentines Day, and when you see it you will know why. ;)

The design was meant to be painted on a cutting board. I didn't have the exact cutting board she mentioned, so I adapted the design to fit onto the board I all ready had on hand.

Here's sort of a step by step video on how I painted it. I kept forgetting to take photos of each step but I'm getting better at remembering to do that I promise! 

This is a free pattern called "Love Is In The Air", that you can find on the "Artists Club" website here.  

In fact there are tons of free patterns there available for download! 

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today, and that I have inspired you!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Christmas Mitten Ornaments-Renee Mullins

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a happy new year so far!

I've been really busy painting all kinds of things!

Today I'm sharing with you the finished Mitten Ornaments that I've been working on.

 I normally only share photos of my finished projects and not the item in stages.  But, I thought maybe you might be interested in seeing these. So I took these photos with my phone and one day I noticed that my phone had all the photos together of these mittens and animated them and turned them into a video. I thought this was so cool, because my phone has never done that before! So, I'll be sharing a little video on how I painted these. I think sharing this way is so awesome because you can see how I painted my items step by step. 

I will continue to share my project video's with you.

These were so fun to paint! I love Christmas, and Gingerbread men, don't you! They're so cute!!!

And who doesn't love Christmas cookies!

Here's a photo of the finished products.  

Here's the video of the first mitten.

Here's the second one.

Well what do you think? Did you like to see the video's? 

I hope you enjoyed your visit here today!

Thank you for stopping by!
