Inspiration

I love browsing Pinterest, looking at the pretty pictures can be quite relaxing, and often inspiring, usually as "I really want that, can't afford it, will make something close."....

This is an antique crock I saw on the site and fell in love:

I found the perfect crock to paint my own version and couldn't be happier with the results:

Once I got the hang of striping, decided to transform a tiny little brown creamer that I'd had forever and a day--here is the before:

Elaine's Sign Factory

Once I started turning my bread boards into signs, I find I can't stop.  Since they are actually selling as well, it is a win win this time.  Now I find myself hoping I didn't just jinx this...

this is a child size pastry board $48

this light blue piggy is $38

the dark blue piggy is $32

this dark blue board is $38

well, this one isn't a bread board, just a rusty tin sign for $20

Disguised as Yellow Ware

I really liked my saltglaze stoneware imposters and decided to tackle yellow ware--I kind of love the results!
