Riley's footprint tile!

Riley has her footprint tile!  I painted one for her sister, Samantha, when she was the same age!  Well, it actually took me longer to finish Samantha's, but I did take her footprints at the same age! :)  I think it's a great keepsake!  The design matches her bedroom!

Sketch!

 Design done!

 Lettering done!

Splattering done!

 The finished piece!

Mirror Project

I got this mirror from my sister's old dresser set!  She wasn't going to use it, so I decided I would try and

 re-stain it!  Now this was at least 3 years ago!  I finally started sanding it yesterday!  The first photo is what it looked like before.  An off white color.  The second photo is the beginning of the sanding.  I would have taken the glass out, but it's pretty secured in there! Stay tuned for further pictures!

Wedding Platter!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Litton!  What a beautiful wedding and reception!

I got the design from Sarah's bridal shower invitation.  It's a washed background of lighter yellows to darker yellows.  The polka dots are washed as well.  The blue ribbon came out pretty good.  I'm glad it didn't come out darker.  I didn't want it to stand out much more then this.  I believe you can click on the picture for a closer look!

Happy Wedding!

It's been a while since I've done writing like this! I'm so glad it came out! The flowers were done in a wash of pink and the lettering in dark brown. Congratulations Epi and Samantha on your upcoming wedding day! May there be many cherished memories to come!

Birthday plate!

Flowers done with the wash technique! I added detail with puffy paints!

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!
