Grab Your Dream and Fly....New Folk Art!

Greetings Everyone,

 So, as I mentioned several weeks ago, not only am I working on new craft projects everyweek...
but, I'm back to working on new folk art paintings.

 If you have ever visited my Pinterest page, one of my boards is I Love Bohemian! I do....I really do. I think it goes back to the fact that I'm a child of the 70's....got caught up in the end of the "flower power" movement...and, really, a big part of me is still that "wandering hippie" who loves nothing more than wearing big flouncy skirts....a straw hat plopped on my head....bangleson my arms...surrounded by family and friends and good food and music.

 So, as I was searching for more pics for the Bohemian board...I got an idea for a "bohemian style"painting....I finished it yesterday and one of my neighbors already wants to  buy it...so, I made pics of it today and delivered it to her....although telling her I would be coming back to make prints of it.....I hope you like her....I call her..."Grab Your Dream and Fly".





I'm very pleased with how she turned out....it surprises me sometimes when I look at one of my paintings, and think...wow, I did this. This one really speaks to me....I think I might like to do more in this style....So, I hope you like her as much as I do.

 Blessings,

 Deborah

    She is wonderful. You sound like me, still feel like a wandering barefoot hippie. Thanks for sharing at The Gathering Spot this week :) Enjoy the weekend!

    She reminds me so much of our youngest daughter. She was born in 1970. She has 3 older siblings so guess she had to be her own person as she liked to describe it. The one thing she didn't do was dye her hair black, thank heavens. Her sibling were all born in the 60's starting in 1960, 1962 and 1964. I was kinda busy in those days. She did wear overalls alot.
    Love your painting, so talented.

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

Image
Good Sunday Evening Everyone, Well, if you have ever visited my Pinterest boards, you know that I love Bohemian ANYTHING! The colors.....the clothes.....the furniture.....I'm an "ole hippie", what do you expect! I have seen so many things online, from clothes to jewelry, that have touched my bohemian soul, but, of course, for the most part, I can not afford to buy what I like. So, I resort to learning how to make it instead, and recently, I had seen these zip tie bracelets and just didn't think they would turn out like the pictures, but they did! Easy Peazy! You will need the large zip ties, your jewelry making tools, strips of cloth, jewelry wire and scotch tape. Yes, scotch tape! I took a zip tie and made a circle to measure the size of my wrist, but then just added a "smidgen"and then cut off the end of the zip tie and taped the circle together. I then took about a 24 inch strip of fabric and made a knot with one end around the zip tie circle and star...

Everyone Loves Watermelon....Right?

Good Monday Evening Everyone, Wow, can you believe that it is already the 6th of May??? I can't.....it seems like it was just yesterday that I  moved into my new home in February! But, I'm not complaining...especially after all the rain we got last week, the Sun was out today....there was a nice breeze blowing....and I had breakfast with my 2 daughters this morning, and my 4 1/2 month old grandson! It was wonderful, and I knew Summer is on it's way! When I was growing up, one of my favorite times of the Summer was when you could see all the watermelons for sale, and my Daddy loved him some watermelon! He would go to the local little farmer's stand where all his buddies whom were farmers were selling fresh local produce. He would load up the car with watermelons and come home. We would ice them down in a cooler that morning and then he would make us go outside to play! So, the water hoses were brought out and slung over a tree branch.....water sprinklers were set  ...

The Lady with Blue Eyes...New Folk Art Painting

Image
Good Friday Evening Everyone, Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day down here in rural South Georgia in my hometown of Waycross. The Sun has been shinning most of the day.....a soft, gentle breeze has been whispering through the pines.....just an all around great day..... and what better time for me to premiere my newest, and I think my best, folk art painting. I had this idea in my head for along time....I wanted her to be a little whimsy.....slightly "hippieish".... magical....secretive.....and special. I used both acrylic and oil painting....I had an old frame in my craft closet....and decided to glue the frame to the mat. I really love her....and proudly have her hanging in my bedroom....hope you enjoy her: The Lady with Blue Eyes I had said many months ago, when I started this journey of sharing my crafts, my paintings, my jewelry that I didn't feel like I was an artist. But, my sister said to me..."sissy you are an artist".....y...
