Ornaments, Ornaments, and more Ornaments!

Detail! This is a paisley print I did for my friend, Bonnie!


















I like to paint detailed things. It takes a while sometimes, but it's usually worth it!



































The pencil sketch!



















To my friends, Amy, Ryan, and their new baby to come!

Amy loves monograms!

Retro Flower Ornament! This one took me over 4 hours!

The polka dot flowers are fun, huh?!

This ornament was for my friend, Ashley!

This ornament was done with the "wash" technique! So much easier and faster then painting 3 or more coats per color! I painted this for my Grandma and Grandpa!

I love it!

Pink and brown! What a pretty color combination! I painted this for my Great Grandmother! I hope she likes it! The background is a wash of 2 shades of pink, and the branch and flowers are done in dark brown!

The branch and flowers spiral around the entire ornament!

Fairy Plate! This birthday child wanted a pink plate with a number 9, and a fairy on it! The fingerprints are the balloons wrapping around the 9, and the bunch of balloons the fairy is holding.

Here's a close-up of the fairy! Awww!

This birthday child wanted a beach scene! The sky was done with a sponge!

The final product with the fingerprints! I turned the fingerprints into a sun, birds, cloud, fish, seashell, and a crab! Sorry the picture's turned sideways!

October Birthday Plates

I decided to add a twig as part of the letters in the name and in 'Happy Birthday'! This adds some fun to the letters! Don't you think? Later, I'll create some pumpkins, leaves, and apples out of the fingerprints!

Now this is definitely a fall birthday plate! It's a pumpkin! The fingerprints will go inside of every other letter in 'Happy Birthday'!

"Tangled" Theme

Well I received a request for a "Tangled" them birthday plate! What do you think? Here are the photos of the different stages: The sketch, unfired and without fingerprints, and fired with fingerprints and names! Yes, that's her hair along the sides of the plate!

It's about time! A canvas painting!

I started this canvas painting a long time ago! I'm copying the design off of a pillow I have! I will start posting pictures of the different stages of the painting!

Color Me Mine Birthday Plate

Hello Kitty! The white cat doesn't stand out too much on the white background, but not too bad! Sometimes the birthday boy/girl requests a theme for his/her birthday plate, and I get to paint something like this!

I have a "Tangled" theme coming up soon, so check back later!

Ornament

Ornament I painted for Bonnie Artim! I've painted one for her for the past two years, and I plan on continuing that!
