I have been painting witch shoes for a few years.  All of my unpainted surfaces (future witch shoes) have been found at thrift stores.  I look for black short boots and higher topped shoes and have even painted on funky clunky black shoes.  It would not be prudent to design for any one style of shoe.  So…what I have come up with is a series of designs (components) that can be used to paint any shoe and the colors I have used.  The nice thing about buying used shoes is that you can paint one to sell and one to keep or keep both…. These are great accent pieces and fun to paint.  Feel free to add any other details – customize to your taste for sure.  The components can be enlarged or minimized to fit your shoe.

I have long been drawn to cobalt blue glassware.  I had some wooden Mason jar ornament cut outs and put the two ideas together and came up with a cobalt blue Mason jar for each of the four seasons.  This was a fun project and hopefully you will enjoy it too!

This is my original design.  This piece was published in Painting E-Zine in January of 2018.

I had three Halloween cat-oriented themes running through my brain and finally had a breakthrough – put all three into a set of tags!  They are enchanting and so feline!

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.

This soap looks like a folded leaf...seriously!  It has a melt and pour base, Wild Current Sandalwood Fragrance oil, ecological gold glitter sprinkled on top and colored with a mix of two greens to get this wonderful shade!  It weighs 4 ounces.  All of my melt and pour soaps are shrink wrapped to keep them sealed until used.  I have tested all the soaps and all are wonderful!  As I stated on the back of the soap, all of my soaps are made with LOTS OF LOVE!  

There is a minimum of 2 soaps per order and these can be mixed or matched as inventory allows..

I first came across this Scottish nighttime prayer in a very small gift shop near Seattle, Washington and it stuck with me for all these many years.  It was a small piece of wood with lots of decoratively painted flowers on it.  I was in IKEA recently and saw these wonderful square mirrors and immediately thought of the saying with a painted night scene, a candle in the window of a red house, plenty of stars and plenty of fireflies in the tree tops.  I thought it would be especially sweet in a child’s room but I could see it in any room.  Of course, there is always a "Halloween angle" to this as well (ghosts, ghouls, oh my!). This is an original design.

This is one of my favorite soaps.  The folded leaf mold I used surpasses all the rest!  The black color seems to really emphasize the leaf so well.  To make it a little better I added an ecological glitter that almost makes it look as if Jack Frost came to visit!  This is made with detergent free aloe and olive oil clear melt and pour soap base, a currant and sandalwood fragrance oil, ecological glitter, black mica soap block and LOTS OF LOVE! The scent of this soap is so wonderful!  This bar is hermetically sealed for freshness and weighs 5 ounces.
