A 3x8 glass block night light. Hand painted, varnished, then filled with a string of white Christmas lights. Not just for Christmas, Mr. Winter can brighten up a spot all winter.
This one painted up for the pumpkin decorating contest at work but unforseen circumstances had me missing work that day. It's ready for the 2013 contest! The faux pumpkins are a really comfortable surface to paint on and accept acrylic paint well. I stock up on them when marked down after Halloween. Also, they last much longer than a real pumpkin!
This favorite is a work in progress. An antique Hoosier cabinet given to me years ago by a favorite neighbor. So far the 4 season adorn the doors but the plan is to paint the entire cabinet in folk art. It provides extra storage as well as folk art decor in my kitchen.

Hand painted by me on a vintage wood box found at the local thrift store. Garage sales, thrift stores, and flea markets are endless resources for one of a kind surfaces to paint on.

2012 ChristmasFair @ the Aladdin Shrine Center sponsored by Vintage Promotions. This is a wonderful 2 day show in Columbus, Ohio with a fantastic following. The crowd actually lines up 2 hours before the show starts!
Same snowman pattern as the basket but hand painted on an 8x8 glass brick night light. This one isn't just for Christmas and could brighten up a spot all winter.
My door prize donation for this years's ChristmasFair at the Aladdin Shrine Center, Nov. 17-18. Handpainted basket filled with hot chocolate and a mug for those cold winter nights! I hope the door prize winner likes it!
