New Whimsical Art!

Happy Sunday everyone,

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. Mine has been a weekend filled with hurting.....fibromyalgia pain and some arthritis crept in there also. I have stayed bundled up on couch, under the blanket, with my four legged baby, Odawg, right beside me. He knows when Mom doesn't feel good!

But, I finished several art pieces at the end of last week and had taken some pictures, but today is the first day i felt like messing with the camera. One of my favorite things to paint on are old wooden windows. Since, I live in a small one bedroom apartment, I don't have the space to store windows, and the ones I do have in here are windows that I have that I don't have any place to hang....lol.

So, when my sister and I went dumpster diving last week and found tons of wood, one of the pieces just drew me to it. I had been playing around with an idea in my head about painting a window that had a beach scene on it and when I started painting on this piece of wood, a few things started to change....I really love the way it turned out:





The quote: Turn your face towards the Sun, and the shadows will fall behind you, is a quote attributed to Helen Keller. This piece can be hung by adding rope around the top or adding a hook on the back. I'm not sure how will be best for this piece, but, I love it. I hope you enjoy it!

Blessings,
Deborah

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

Image
Good Sunday Evening Everyone, Well, if you have ever visited my Pinterest boards, you know that I love Bohemian ANYTHING! The colors.....the clothes.....the furniture.....I'm an "ole hippie", what do you expect! I have seen so many things online, from clothes to jewelry, that have touched my bohemian soul, but, of course, for the most part, I can not afford to buy what I like. So, I resort to learning how to make it instead, and recently, I had seen these zip tie bracelets and just didn't think they would turn out like the pictures, but they did! Easy Peazy! You will need the large zip ties, your jewelry making tools, strips of cloth, jewelry wire and scotch tape. Yes, scotch tape! I took a zip tie and made a circle to measure the size of my wrist, but then just added a "smidgen"and then cut off the end of the zip tie and taped the circle together. I then took about a 24 inch strip of fabric and made a knot with one end around the zip tie circle and star

Everyone Loves Watermelon....Right?

Good Monday Evening Everyone, Wow, can you believe that it is already the 6th of May??? I can't.....it seems like it was just yesterday that I  moved into my new home in February! But, I'm not complaining...especially after all the rain we got last week, the Sun was out today....there was a nice breeze blowing....and I had breakfast with my 2 daughters this morning, and my 4 1/2 month old grandson! It was wonderful, and I knew Summer is on it's way! When I was growing up, one of my favorite times of the Summer was when you could see all the watermelons for sale, and my Daddy loved him some watermelon! He would go to the local little farmer's stand where all his buddies whom were farmers were selling fresh local produce. He would load up the car with watermelons and come home. We would ice them down in a cooler that morning and then he would make us go outside to play! So, the water hoses were brought out and slung over a tree branch.....water sprinklers were set

The Lady with Blue Eyes...New Folk Art Painting

Image
Good Friday Evening Everyone, Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day down here in rural South Georgia in my hometown of Waycross. The Sun has been shinning most of the day.....a soft, gentle breeze has been whispering through the pines.....just an all around great day..... and what better time for me to premiere my newest, and I think my best, folk art painting. I had this idea in my head for along time....I wanted her to be a little whimsy.....slightly "hippieish".... magical....secretive.....and special. I used both acrylic and oil painting....I had an old frame in my craft closet....and decided to glue the frame to the mat. I really love her....and proudly have her hanging in my bedroom....hope you enjoy her: The Lady with Blue Eyes I had said many months ago, when I started this journey of sharing my crafts, my paintings, my jewelry that I didn't feel like I was an artist. But, my sister said to me..."sissy you are an artist".....y
