Just listed her this evening. My first ever little witch painting done in acrylics on a a chunky 6"x6" canvas. She was so much fun to paint! Hope you have time to stop by and visit HER AUCTION.

My Friend JoycEE's Skills!

On Tuesday............Joyce, Brenda, Jadyn and I had a girls day out. We went to see Joyce's mural that she painted in the Dover Public Library. I had only seen pictures of it before so I have been wanting to go and see it in person and to see it in person is absolutely breathtaking! I can't imagine painting or drawing anything on that grand of a scale.............or standing on scaffolding to paint it. I'm just i awe.................................

Joyce with her mural.........


Jadyn looking at the fish reading a book in the chilren's section mural........



Being her usual little ornery self! I love this pic.........LOL


Brenda and JoycEE strike a pose in front of the chilren's mural. It's pure magic!


JoycEE, Jadyn and I.........


What a magical place to read a book!


JoycEE and Jadyn.........=D When Jadyn first laid eyes on the first mural and I was pointing out all the things in the mural to her, she said, "WOW JoycEE! Good Job!" We giggled over that one. It was just too cute the way she said it!


We then left the library to eat lunch. After that was a stop at the new material shop in New Philadelphia, then off to Riverfront Antique Mall to look for vintage goodies. JoycEE used to work there and she guided Brenda, Jadyn and I to all the interesting booths! Antique mall rules are that all small children must be strapped into their strollers, so the whole time Jadyn was saying, "I want out. Help me.......JoycEE help me!" We giggled until we almost peed our pants! LOL

What a fun day! Next time, we're going to go visit Brenda and she's going to show us all the awesome places that she likes to shop at and of course a stop at Starbucks!!!!! I can't wait to go!

Until then...................

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!

Hugs! *Lori

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

Two of my Favorite Christmas Gifts..........

The most fun gifts to get at Christmastime are the hand made ones........the ones that come from the heart and hands of some of my dearest friends. =o) The first one came to me in the mail from my dear friend Sandy or Sam (Samiamcreations). Her newest passion is these little objet d'art soldered necklaces that I absolutely ADORE and you can find in her etsy shop.........

.......and the second treasured gift came from one of my best friend's JoycEE.....aka Enchanted Productions and was made by another best friend Christy.....aka Ccswhimsies. When Joyce gave my gift to me along with the sweetest hand written card.........all I could do was sob. I had seen this beautiful painting on PfattMarketplace only AFTER it had been purchased by Joyce. I scolded her for scooping it up first! lol So imagine my joy when I opened her package to find inside this sweet little angel staring up at me!!!! =o) I am so blessed to have such sweet and loving friends!!!!!!

I love you girls!!!!
HUGS!
