Painted Treasures
I have such fun painting pots! Each is sealed so watering the plant does not affect the painted surface.
I also paint boxes to put my jewelry into or whatever you want!
This was an older, used and scratched desk. I primed it with a metal primer, then painted it with acrylics. I certainly looks better than the drab taupe color it used to be!
This was a used and scratched refrigerator. It was transformed to a whimsical above and below water level painting.
Here is another desk made of wood this time. It also was used and scratched, so the customer requested something be painted on it. When she saw my first desk, she wanted one like it.
Painting recycled fabric purses, bags and billfolds is a new line of items I have developed. I found cloth bags at local thrift stores and transformed them into cute accessories. No need to keep an "ugly" purse, I can change it with some painted accents, or cover it completely.
These brightly colored pieces are my "Words of Affirmation" plaques. I try to make interesting backgrounds, and paint the letters by hand. These Plaques are available for sale at: CornerHouse Gallery 3318 1st Ave NE, Ste A Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 319-365-4348
Photo on left is a canvas painting with a bible verse. I used sponging and stencils in the background, then painted the rose and placed the words. The pieces on the right are wood plaques using recycled wood left from a remodeling project in my home. I used many layers of paint and the alcohol resist method to get interesting textures. I typeset the phrases to get the correct size and spacing, then paint all the letters by hand. Avaialable at: CornerHouse Gallery 3318 1st Ave NE, Ste A Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 319-365-4348
This is a vase the customer had spray painted dark red. Can you tell? I sprayed it ivory, then used chalk pastels to colorize the etched patterns.
