Whimsical cozy villa...Tuscan inspiration... Most of you know that I taught and then traveled through Tuscany this Spring. Thank you to our hostess M.Laura Baronti Marchiņ, who opened up her beautiful Tuscan villa to Flo and I. She took us on many jaunts in and around the Tuscan region and near Rome. Treasured memories! This was our third trip to Italy and I am very inspired with the beauty and charm that is the country of Italy. I hope you can see little touches of that inspiration in Between the Vines 10....enjoy!
The villa is crackled with Deco Art One-Step Crackle...love this stuff! Surface: plate with dimensional scrollwork Valhalla Laser Designs
Letters HOME... Simple and sweet! Flower centers are adorned with a Swarovski crystal and the letters and base are quaintly distressed with DecoArt One-Step Crackle. Surface: Valhalla Laser Designs
This small Tuscan inspired scene is painted on the white, wire framed bowl with wooden lid, very neat! Surface: Viking Woodcrafts
Love Blooms Here...This is painted on an extra-large Tag (10 inch)...the little house is crackled and the sweet flower is floated with summery (Springy?) tints! Surface from Artist Club
Bless This Home...I thought this three-sectioned panel on slider base was a neat idea...loved the way you can slide the squares to be one big panel, or display it sectioned off (as shown). However you like! Surface from Viking Woodcrafts)
Mmm.... Fresh Corn! Does anything say Summer more? This is painted on a neat wooden paddle from Smooth Cut Wood.
Bee Thankful...and/or Summertime Fun! The Summer Design for the Tall Frame...but this is painted on a laser-cut panel with a slider base! The bees are dimensional and they are flying all around...bzzzz..Surface: Valhalla Laser Designs
Topiary Light Loved this lamp from Artist Club, it is a neat accent piece for any room in the house.
A pretty pumpkin, adorned with FALL letters...a wonderful piece to display in the window or on a shelf. Surface: Valhalla Laser Designs
A cool, Fall decorative piece! Dimensional, three-layered panel - slide on a simple base. Perfect for a window sill, desk or shelf! Tuck a few vines or twigs around it, put a little light behind it. Surface: Valhalla Laser Designs
Sweet, dear little snow angels...each have fun swirly wings - just like the big angel shown to the left - they all hold a little Yuletide message. The big one hangs by ribbon (or wire) from his wings. I sparkled the wings with Deco Art Crystal Glamour Dust. Super, sparkly twinkles!
.Big Snowman Angel with scrolled wings...FUN! Surface: Valhalla Laser Designs
More sweet angels...this time in the form of little gingerbread! Each have beautiful laser-cut holly leaves as their wings! I sparkled the wings and the little cookie cuttters they are holding in their hand with DecoArt Gold Glamour Dust! Fun, fun, fun...so sweet (and did I mention fun?)!
