Spring is finally here–I think! It seems that we had the April showers last week, and now the winds are in full blast. I sat at two softball games this week, freezing to death in a strong north wind! You would have thought that a major snow storm would have followed it in. It has now settled to a brisk breeze, but I don’t think I’ve really warmed up yet! I am warming up to some garden art though. I haven’t quite got ready to plant flowers outside–I think we could still get a freeze, maybe a snow! but it’s not too early to plant art in the garden to brighten any spot.
This is a picture of one of the rooster windows that features a black copper maran cock.
I’ve also been painting old wooden windows with flowers and roosters to hang indoors or out. The shabby chic windows are beautiful hanging on your wooden fence or brick garden wall. They are a great way to brighten your garden while waiting for those annuals to fill the garden with beautiful blooms. So far I’ve painted a rooster, poppies, hollyhocks, and sunflowers. These paintings and bells are available in my gallery–Sentosa–#102 in East Wing of the Galleries at Sunset (3701 Plains Blvd, Amarillo, TX). I’m there most days, but you can call 806 676-1733 just to be sure–sometimes I am out working on a project or painting outdoors or at a ballgame–our grand-daughter Bailey’s softball team is in the playoffs. All of the galleries will be open Friday, May 7th for the First Friday Art Walk from 5-9 pm.
I have been busy perfecting my doll case–it will make a great Christmas present for any little girl and her most precious possession–her favorite doll!
Made from a strong upcycled suitcase, this new product is eco-friendly! Let’s keep those beautiful vintage suitcases out of the landfill and give them new use!
This case pictured is made for Josefina, an American Girl Doll who lived in New Mexico in the 1800′s. She has a beautiful pueblo style home and garden, a bedroom and closet to store all of her clothes and accessories.
This beautiful Samsonite case is handpainted and textured. The outside shows the home and garden and inside her dresser and mirror are painted. It makes a beautiful dollhouse that any young girl would love to play with. She can store her treasures with her doll in this attractive case.
Please check out these pictures! The suitcase along sales for $195 with free shipping in the U.S. It includes the suitcase alone with 4 wire heart hangers.
The doll and clothing is available, along with the horno oven, and handmade peppers, basket, bread and wooden spatula. Send me an email if you are interested! I can customize the case for your child’s doll or for your decor. This is all hand painted, one of a kind artwork. If you have a special suitcase you would like to have customized, please let me know. I will be limited as to how many I can make before Christmas.
