My first sale this summer is July 2 and I needed to get more of those lake/cottage type signs done up.. but while I was painting.. I came up with this... still not sure I like it.. don't usually do anything 3D.. but of course this morning the internet is wonky and has been flashing on and off.. hope I can get this posted...lol So what do you think? the little wooden flower is painted like a sunflower... and it has a little ladybug on a wire..I had seen 4 of these little flowers in the stash.. wondered what to do with them....
We have had no rain all week.. some days looked abit threatening but it all missed us... so lots of heat and mostly sunshine.. soooo gotta love this!! I have 3 blooms on my spaghetti squash.. some flowers on my tomatoes, and my Tiger Lily's are almost ready to bloom...I had this random Bleeding Heart come up last summer .. it did ok but wasn't anything spectacular.. but look at it this year!! Chaya called it the Valentine flower... she loved the shape of the little blooms...
The postal strike isn't over yet.. they decided to give them more time to try and reach an agreement on their own before legislating them back to work.. sure is brutal for the small businesses that depend on the mail.. and I won't have supplies that I needed to finish things for next weeks sale.I will take my Etsy shop off vacation mode as I've been told that putting it on there will take my shop out of the google ratings and will take a long time to get it coming up again...not a good thing...
Well should get off here and post this while the internet is still on... this has taken forever to do.. Hope everyone has a loverly saturday.. Thanks for stopping by...

"The Valentine Flower"... that's so cute! <3 I love bleeding hearts, too. They're gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your signs are fantastic, Kathy! That lake one is really pretty, but the "Welcome to our home" one is just simply lovely. I love the 3D flower! :D
I'm loving the 3D effect. You can do it!

I LOVE the 3D sign, it is adorable Kathy! Definitely make more of those! :) The other sign is so soft and lovely, sure to be a hit too! I have a bleeding heart just like that, it's huge now, and so gorgeous! Glad you've had sun. Late this afternoon was the first time we've seen it in 4 days... :P We were all cheering! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your "Lake" sign! And your tangle challenge is terrific, too!
ReplyDeleteOh Kath, I love that welcome sign. That is very nice, simple yet so welcoming. You should do MORE of these. Is that a flower pot cut in half? I have done that before. Cute cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the tangles too and everything else.
Good luck with shows.
