Let the craft show season begin.......

Has been a while since I posted, so have several pictures....first is a Santa from a Terrye French pattern....this is done on a mink board, and the reverse side has a darling pumpkin and crow....not sure if I posted that pic on the blog or not.....
Next picture shows some of the snowman "army" I have painted up.....
I call these "mood blocks"......just turn them to reflect your mood for the day!!!
These are some cute little resin snowmen and Santa ornaments....from a Susan Kelley pattern from Artists Club
And last, our first class project of the year......little "ghostie gourds"....my dog loved these, she thought they were a play toy.......so very happy to be back painting with my "classmates"....I missed them!!

Had a chance to hit the decorative painting convention trade floor in Portland 2 weeks ago, got some great patterns and surfaces......plus this past weekend was filled with all the awesome sales and shops in the Chehalis/Rochester/Olympia area.....Country Chicks, Pole Barn Primitives, Deep Creek Barn, Country Shed....we hit them all!!! Have lots more goodies to "re-purpose"!!

My first craft show of the season is Country Creations at Vasa Park Resort in Bellevue, Oct 13-14-15. It is a boutique show, so I won't have to "man" my booth, just set-up, work one shift, and tear down.....

Second show will be the Funky Junk Sisters "Junk Salvation" show in Puyallup....so much fun!! Check out their website for ticket pre-sales for early entry!!

Cyndy

Lots of pictures today, since I haven't posted in soooo long!! First is a cute little canvas in a simple wood frame, adapted from an older Kim Klassen pattern....I sooo miss her designs!!
Next is three square plaques, adapted from a Sue Allemand ornament pattern
This piece is from a Deb Antonick/Terrye French pattern...I'm planning to do a Santa or snowman on the reverse to make it a 2 season piece.
Love this guy!! This is "Spooky and Friend", also from a Deb Antonick/Terrye French pattern, done on an old cast-iron griddle pan.
And finally, another little canvas adapted from another Kim Klassen pattern. I have also done this pattern on an old book. Very simple and serene.

Prim kitchen

Just finished this cute little coffee pot.....adapted from a Terrye French pattern, it matches the candle keepers I posted previously.....this side has a darling little crow...
and this side has a pear and a prim little sheep!!! Add in a penny rug on the top, and it makes a wonderful primitive accent for the kitchen. Can't you just imagine it sitting on your countertop?? Hmmmmm....this may have to come live permanently in my kitchen.......

Santas Santas everywhere!!

Found these cute little "troll" Santas at a garage sale a while back.....they are adorable....because they are so small, I just painted them with a simple red and green palette....nothing fancy.

Have family visiting so will be a few days before I post again. Be sure and check our or Facebook page too!!

A fab new find!!!

Found these fabulous old sewing machine cabinet drawers at the Meeker Mansion sale this past weekend!!!! I just had to have them....now I just have to figure out what to do with them.....

Will probably paint at least some of them....have a couple great "Painting With Friends" patterns that would look really cute....but I'm open to suggestions.........

Be sure and check out the PrimWorks Facebook page....posted oodles of pics!!

Also, update on the Funky Junk Sisters Junk Salvation show in November....will be a Friday/Saturday show so mark your calendars!! Nov 4th and 5th!!

Crows, Primitives and Christmas

Have been painting like crazy lately....today's pictures show some of the products I have completed recently....first is a simple little canvas with a cute little saying
Next picture shows three "candle stands" from a Terrye French pattern.....each will have a little votive candle to go with it.....they combine some of my favorite elements-----crows, sheep, and penny rugs
And last is a "re-purposed" cupboard door painted with an older Terrye French nutcracker pattern. Very "prim"!!

And exciting news.....I now have a PrimWorks Facebook page!! Check us out and give us a "like"!! Still adding content, mostly just pictures now, but as we build a following we will add extra features, maybe do some monthly drawings. We shall see how things go......

Very different things......

A couple of quick pics tonite....first shows one of the Terrye French "Painting With friends" patterns....I just love anything pumpkin!!!
Second pic shows a cute little sign based on a Gail Anderson "Tolehaven" pattern....but of course I had to "prim" it up a little!!! Amazing what a differnce a little gel stain makes!!

Finishing up several other projects...more "Painting With Friends", a Betty Bowers bag, and of course, my project from the seminar with Jamie Mills-Price. Back with more pictures soon.
