Something New

My Granny was the artsiest person I have ever met, she love wood crafting and painting and simply making things beautiful.  I must have inherited a bit of that from her because I discovered I could paint rather well and now I am taking a crack at selling my items.


Most of the things I have created so far or more catered to Christmas, but I fully intend to broaden out and hit the other seasons as well.


Sports is big here in the South and I live in the Knoxville area so most of the folks around here bleed orange for the Tennessee Vols.  Then there is the house divided like my own.  My husband is a former AU alumni and loves Alabama Crimson Tide. 




 These are my Vol Santa's.  They were a hit this year and I had many offers to purchase them but I had created them as gifts. This got my wheels a turning and I am in the works of creating a realm of them to sell. 
 My first shot at Marilyn is on the end.  She turned out a bit caricature but I think she is still beautiful and recognizable.
 
 This is the TN side of the house divided
