My Pfatt Easter Swap to Deb..........

Another PFATT Easter Swap is upon us and I had Deb of The Laughing Doll. I painted her this wicked cool bunny on a 6"x6" chunky wrapped canvas. The mottled gold background was painted onto an all black background. I then added penny rug fingers made from the pages of a vintage 1900's book and painted little carrots on each one. They go all the way around the outside edge of the canvas, giving it a finished look from all four sides.

I'm so glad that Deb loved her bunny canvas! Participating in these swaps gives everyone a chance to own a little piece of Pfatt art! And part of the fun is trying to make something that you know your swap partner is going to enjoy. Deb made it really easy for me though.......she said she would love anything that I made and to surprise her. God Bless you Deb!!!!!!!! =o)

Happy Easter to you!

Jadyn and Joyce's Fishie.........

I just had to share this pic of Jadyn with Joyce's newest creation! LOL She's taken a real liking to this adorable little fish. Joyce named him Leon after Jadyn's real goldfish. Just tonight she went over to the stand that he's sitting on and picked him up and was carrying him around kissing him on the lips and trying to give him a drink of water out of her sippy cup......LOL! It was priceless!

Pfatt Tuesday.......America or Bust!

Well yesterday was Pfatt Tuesday for the Ebay group PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Tea & Talk).

Our theme this month was America or bust and I sat down and painted this primitive folk art hang tag ornie of a bust of Lady Liberty. At least she's my version of Lady Liberty.......LOL! Hope you have time to jump on over to Ebay and take a peek at her..........

I made her little wire hanger and bent it into a star shape. Don't you just love those little afterthoughts that pop into your mind while you are creating? LOL

A New Canvas........The Snow Bunny Queen's Garden

I painted another one of my little chunky canvases the other day. This makes #3 in a series of Queens. This one is titled the Snow Bunny Queen.....



I added the penny rug fingers that I love oh so much........



they remind me of a little picket fence with tiny little flowers growing along them.........

Thanks for taking a peek....*Lori

Paintings on Vintage Ceiling Tin Tiles......

I thought I would share with you some of my past work. I love painting on these vintage ceiling tin tiles! It's like painting on a framed canvas.....only with tons more character and vintage charm! I have to buy them on Ebay because I can't find them anywhere around here. I just love to think of where they might have come from. They come to me with chipped paint (which I absolutely LOVE) and lots of coal dust and grime, since most of them were the ceilings in old stores where little coal stoves were the only source of heat. Just think.........if only they could talk and share their stories with us!

This first one was a very large 24 inch square tile and I painted a vintage postcard scene of this little pumpkin witch...........



This next one was a fall swap in my PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Tea & Talk) group. It went to Andrea of Rubymoon Primitives. I remember how excited she was to get it and she told me that she danced around the room showing him off to her family! (I miss you Andrea!)

This one is one of my favorites! She's an Ellen Clapsaddle vintage postcard design. I loved the deep embossed design on this one! The man that I bought my tins from used to bid on my painted tiles and this is one that he won back. I was so glad that he won it back! He has quite a collection now!

And this was my very first hand painted tin. Another Ellen Clapsaddle postcard was the inspiration for this one and she was my highest selling Ebay item of all time.......my one and only! LOL

This last tile was my very first Easter Swap for the PFATT group. And yet another Ellen Clapsaddle postcard..........can you tell that I love Ellen's paintings?

I hope you enjoyed my little trip down memory lane. I need to dig some more tins out and start painting them again. I go through these fazes........I get so easily bored with doing alot of the same things, so my art seems to go in cycles. Aren't all artists like this though???? =D

Hugs! *Lori

My Second Little Canvas...............

I've listed my second little chunky canvas tonight on Ebay. I just love the bright color of this one. I continued using the penny rug border with the little flowers around the outside edge on this canvas just like I did on the first one. I like the way that it gives it a little more depth. These little 4x4" chunky canvases make a statement on their own or in a grouping and they don't take up alot of space. I hope you like them too. =D
