This pattern was designed for an old sifter I repurposed.  I pictured an old New England road side pumpkin stand, filled to the brim with pumpkins!  I had fun designing and painting this.  The design can be used on many surfaces, you are only limited by your imagination!

I wanted to design a piece that would be good to display all winter long with snowmen, icicles, and snowflakes. I painted a trio of snowmen rather than overwhelming the teapot as I wanted the snowflakes to be an important part of the design as well. It was fun to design and even more fun to paint. Lots of little details (I love details!). I hope you have fun painting this!  This design will fit on many different sizes of tea pots as the snowmen figures can be easily moved.

Happy Painting!

I love metal cake covers, don't know why, but I just do.  I love the fact that they can double as a cover for the cake as well as a seasonal or year-round decoration.  

The Aurora Borealis Cake Cover was an idea I came up with that would be more than a suitable decoration for both the entire Winter Season as well as the Holidays.  The cake cover has a lovely combination of reindeer, snow-filled night sky, a concentric aurora borealis on the top, glittery snowflakes and snow-covered evergreen trees all topped with a snow-dipped pinecone with glitter for the handle.  

This was just such a fun and festive cake cover to design and paint and I hope it gives you joy to paint it!

This is one of my original designs and was published in the Pixelated Palette in November 2017..

I came across a few of these wonderful old metal trays and picked them up.  When I got home I was thinking of what I could do with these.  Of course the first thought was “paint them” and the second thought was Fall and pumpkins, and leaves and berries!  It didn’t hurt that had just harvested my pumpkins and it was a very good year for pumpkins!  I used a set of leaf stencils I have (information is included with the pattern) but they of course can be hand traced for this pattern.

Happy Painting!

I found this adorable green enamel pail, spring was on its way and I thought the pail would be wonderful with spring chicks in red boots! There are three designs for the chicks and these can be scattered in whichever way you choose.  A pail or container of any size can be used!  If you have a container that you want to paint and then add the chicks, that can be done!  The green color of my enamel pail is very close to DecoArt Hauser Medium Green.

This is my original design, one of which I hope you like!
