Hello!

I want to invite you all to the 2nd Annual PFATT Charity Auction. This auction is for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The auction will go live on Sunday June 12th at 9:30pm EST-6:30pm PST. members of my Ebay group Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea will be making special ornaments to adorn a 34" tall cream colored real goose feather tree from Ragon House.

The PFATT members have graciously given their talents and time to design OOAK ornaments to be auctioned off for this very worthy cause.

Here is the LINK TO THE EBAY AUCTION.

100% of the proceeds from this auction will go towards the nonprofit organization FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered). To provide support, resources and information and promote awareness and research specific to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and to unite families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

This nonprofit organization was picked by one of our members, Carly, who is a breast cancer survivor.

Pictured here is a peek at my ornament for the auction. She is titled "Pretty in Pink". Made from a vintage wooden thread spool and adorned with pink glitter, tinsel garland and a vintage pink glass bead. She has a rusty twisted wire hanger. Hand painted in acrylics, she has pink hair and pink eyes too. She will come signed and dated by the artist...me. Ü

Here is a sneak peek of the tree with the ornies that have arrived so far. Each one is made with love from the giving hearts of some of the most talented artists on Ebay.

Hand stitching around the print is free form and the words "Midnight Ride" along with little stars is done in cream colored quilter's thread.

New Ebay Listing....

"Petra Pumpkin" Mixed Media Painting

It's been quite a while since my last listing on ebay. Seems like after the holidays are over....so is my creative flow....lol

This painting was fun to create. I upcycled a raised panel painting that I had left over from the holidays.

This large painting measures 13 inches wide by 14 inches high with a wire hanger that adds another 3 inches. It also features a distressed paint finish.

The raised panel painted surface measures 7 1/4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches high. Petra has been painted with acrylic paints and has been sealed to protect her.

Her hat and collar have been cut from the pages of an early 1900's book. Her tophat is adorned with a rosette made from orange crepe paper and has a vintage celluloid button center. It also features an irredescent peacock feather.

Happy Birthday Poe!

January 19th marked the 202nd birthday for Edgar Allan Poe....best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre.

The eBay group Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea is having a POE Challenge to celebrate Edgar's Birthday!

Below is the "Happy Birthday Poe" Mixed Media hang tag/ornament that I made for this special occasion.

Just click on the picture to go to the eBay Auction.....

I made this hang tag from a coffee dyed tag, painted it black and distressed it to make it look old. I added the finely detailed portrait print, hand stitching and a touch of whimsy in his party hat and baloon that were made from the pages of an early 1900's book.
