Painted Boot Planter

 

 

I've based this design on some cartoon sketches I'd done, as I wanted to try out my new POSCA pens.

I've named the boot "Tom and Gerry" (- as opposed to "Jerry", so it doesn't look like I'm imitating the cartoon programme). I painted the boot with gesso, and then the design is a mixture of acrylic paint and POSCA pens.

The boot is 12" long, 8" high, weight 739g, UK size 11. Maker: brasher.

There are no drainage holes, but the boot will fit a 4" plant saucer.

For sale without the plant £25, UK post free.

Below are my original sketches; for the other boot (or for a welly), I'm going to start with the angry cat sketch. 

 

Bee "Handy Hooks" mosaics

FOR SALE: £25 free UK post. 

The board is 24cm diameter. It hangs by a picture cord across the back, plus I'm including rawl plugs and screws in case you wish to make it a permanent fixture.

 

... and another! ...

£20 free UK post

The board is 17.5cm wide and 28cm total length. It hangs by a macrame hook at the top.

 

 These two mosaics each have a metal BEE hook (bought in Dunelm) for storing keys or hanging up a coat, apron, etc.

I used a jig-saw to saw the bee shapes from MDF, and added mosaic tiles, before gluing them to new wooden boards.

Giraffe mosaic with hooks

 

I used a jigsaw for the giraffe outline, completing it with craft mosaic tiles. I bought a chopping board and a pair of bronze coloured giraffe head hooks - and assembled them as a picture for key storage etc. The latest in my "handy hooks" theme.

Thanks

 My thanks to Sue Locking, the cruise ship art tutor, for her advice and encouragement, which has rekindled my enjoyment of water-colour painting.

Also for encouraging my husband Peter to pick up a paintbrush.

The pictures below are a combination of both our results.

Many Shades of Grey

 

Another of my water-colour pieces whilst on a cruise. I used inspiration from a large artwork on the ship, drawing a heron, irises and bulrushes. For the second picture I focused on a close up of the heron, together with two kingfishers.
