Commission

I was recently honored to be asked of a friend here at work to make a painting for someone.  This friend had just climbed Mount Elbert in Colorado and at 14, 440 feet tall, that was an accomplishment that deserved some sort of remembrace!  We worked together to figure out what we wanted the painting to look like and I set to making it.  Here is the finished result:

I had never painted anything like this before - something based off of a photograph - so I was very pleased with the outcome!  I'm just glad it resembles a landscape! :)

Just thought I'd share this latest and new endeavor.  I'm still busy making coasters and yarn wreaths so I haven't really had a lot of time to try anything new lately.  I've got a few ideas that I'm going to try once I can surface from making coasters!

Yarn wreaths!

Well, friends, I finally made something new!  I'd perused Pinterest quite a bit and fell in love with yarn wreaths.  So, I made some of my own! 

        

I LOVE them!!  Here are some detail shots of the flowers:

      

I'll be selling them for $20 each.  Right now I have yellow, burgundy, green and brown yarn for the wreaths and lots of colors for the felt flowers, so just let me know what you'd like!  :)

Moved!

So we've officially moved!  Now it's just a matter of unpacking all the boxes and putting everything in its new place.  Because of the moving, I have had ZERO time to be crafty!  But, I have checked out Pinterest every now and again and here are some pictures of things I'd love to try!

Happy crafting!  Hopefully I'll have some sort of update up soon! :)

Late...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, friends.  It's been a really busy week this week plus my dad's been having a rough week with his chemo treatments.  And we'll be moving in a few weeks!  So unfortunately, crafting and blogging has fallen a little farther down on the priority list! :)  I'll try to update a little bit, but it may be scarce in the next few weeks. 

Thanks for your patience!!

Friday Inspiration

This weekend, I'm going to try to branch out a little bit and try something completely different!

I'm going to try to make some cute, fun little flower accessories!!

I know the pictures show 2 different types of accessories, but they both seemed easy enough that I thought I'd at least try one of each of them.  I'd love to make brooches and hair pins to add to my inventory. 

I'll let you know how it goes next week!  Have a great weekend, everybody! :)

Thankful

I painted a canvas the other day just a solid light blue but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it.  Then I remembered that I had some letter stickers.  I'd seen a quote on Pinterest that really struck me and I thought, 'That'd be perfect.'  My dad is going through chemo treatments right now and this quote is a great reminder.

I may paint over the whole thing in another color so that there is light blue lettering on a different colored background. 

If you would like to have a canvas print like this, it is $15. 

A twist on an inspiration

On Friday I shared a picture of something I wanted to try this weekend. 

Well, I didn't do this exactly, though I will try this exact project soon.  I decided to do my own little twist on this project and make something else:

Ta-da!!  I should have taken a picture from the side, but the 'Dunn' letters are wooden and are glued right onto the canvas.  What do you think?

I would love to make something like this for you!  I'm having a bit of a hard time coming up with a price though because it'll just be dependent on how many wood letters I have to buy and if I need to bump up to a larger canvas (the one above is an 8"x10").  So, if you're interested in me making one for you, just shoot me an email at kimberrydunn@gmail.com and we'll chat. :)

I hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday!
