Plaques

Right before Thanksgiving I received a request for two plaques to be made for a boy and a girl for Christmas, a sports plaque, and a request for Cinderella's castle....Since I am not an artist that could actually paint those things...I went scouring two craft stores, my favorite place in the whole world, I was able to find a princess castle just the right size for an 8x10 plaque and football rub ons for the other. After a couple of weeks of work, and a football plaque that had to be redone caused by a small problem that I tried to fix, and ending up turning into a bigger mess, I just had to scratch it and start over. But in the end these are what I made.





I would have to say he was one of the nicest most understanding customers I have ever had to work with, never rushing me, working with me to make sure that he got the plaques he was looking for, and having faith that I would be able to complete them before Christmas. I hope he enjoys them, they were fun to make.....

Seashell ornaments

I love making these. These are seashell ornaments perfect for a Christmas tree. I love how the lights on the tree make them shimmer.

More stuff

Here are some more things I have been working on when the kids are in school.... I just love being creative.....If anyone needs anything, let me know!!! I would love to make something....LOL When the sun comes out again, I will retake these pictures, the camera takes wonderful outdoor pictures, not so great indoor....
This one I call Minnie's keepsake box. It has two drawers. It measure's a little over 7 1/2" wide and 5 1/2" tall.




This one is a 9x12 plaque of Cinderella that can be personalized with a name.

The last one is a little treasure box that have two hinged lids. I tried to give an ocean look for Ariel.... to much ocean??? LOL
The box is 9 1/2" wide and 3" tall.

Since I really can't draw, but I love to paint and create, I use rub ons that I love putting on because they look like they have been painted right on the surface when I am finished. Then I spray everything with a clear coat finish that protects the painted surface everything turns bright and vibrant and has turned out to be quite durable against wear and yellowing.

Here are some plaques and things that I have worked on in the last couple of years... at least some of them. I have done more that I will post soon... but here are just a few things that I have made for the girls.

This is a shelf that I made for Elizabeth, she picked out what she wanted on it and I painted the colors to match.

This one I made for Breanna my niece last year. I really like how this one turned out using letter stamps for her name.

I even love making plaques for different seasons and holidays.
