A Bunch of Grapes Box . . .

My daughter made a couple suggestions on the lid to this box and I am posting a picture of it here for her to see how well it came out.  I still have to paint the sides to this box, but I think the lid is done . . . at least I am not going to mess with it anymore.  I'll be interested in your comments Val.

I've discovered Folk Art . . .

I just created this box using a new Folk Art style that I discovered recently.   I am really excited about the style.  It isn't limited just to fruit, but to a whole range of Country Folk Art themes, like roosters and birds and country houses, etc.  I plan to try my luck with as many different styles as I can.  The box pictured above isn't finished yet -- I still need to affix the hardware and line it, but I thought I would post it here on my blog for all to see.  It isn't really a jewelry box. ( I don't know how many women would want fruit on their jewelry box.)  So, I am just going to sell it as a Folk Art Box and let the buyer do with it want he or she wants.

A Floral Box . . .

My daughter wanted to know what I have been making lately, so I am posting a picture here of my latest box creation.  I made it last week, but didn't post a picture of it until today.  It was a fun box to paint and I just hope that someone buys it who really likes it.  It is listed in my Etsy Shop and is now for sale.
