The Martini and The Sailboat

Do you fancy a martini on a sailboat?

If you'd like a Personalized Name Sign for your little one please visit my Etsy shop or Bonanzle booth to purchase yours today!

A Call To Africa by Robert Foster

As I was scrolling through treasuries today on Etsy I came across this gorgeous print by Robert Foster. Golden King is stunningly painted using opaque watercolors with enhancements.

This led me to check out more work by this talented artist and I came upon these prints as well.

I'm currently trying to decide on the decor for my son's bedroom but if I go with an animal theme I really think a few pieces of Mr. Foster's art will adorn his walls. Please visit his Etsy store Robert Foster's Art for more animal prints. He also has a wide selection of flowers, ladies and romance, kitty cats, landscapes, seascapes and fantasy prints. Also, check out more of his artwork on his website http://www.robertfosterart.turnpiece.net.

Make Something Monday: 1952 Built By Sign

I know that I am running late posting this but it's still Monday here for another 23 minutes. :-D



This sign is a custom design done on Belizean pine using white and black acrylic paints. I distressed the edges and the middle a little to make it seem older than it is. It's been sprayed with a fixative to protect it from the weather.

This is my first custom order for someone I don't know (she contacted me on Etsy) so I am really nervous about it. I painted most of the black with a teeny, tiny, paint brush that has about 10 hairs in it.

I hope my customer likes it!

Sneak Peak At My Newest Etsy Shop Offering

I have a new line of signs I am about to post in my Etsy shop but I thought I'd give my blog readers a sneak peak first.

Are you looking for the perfect gift for the new baby in your life?
Is your son or daughter getting his or her own room for the first time?

Let me design a personalized name sign for you. Each sign is unique in it's design. No two will be exactly alike.

Most of the design work is done before hand in Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop so you can approve it before any wood is cut. My name signs are painted on Belizean pine using latex and/or acrylic paints and the size of the sign will vary depending on your child's name.

All signs are sealed for durability with a clear protective spray.

Coming soon!
