Soldiers at Point Du Hoc

Hallo

  I used 2 photos that I took many years ago in Normandy - my hubby and I went to the Ceremonies down in France for the 50th Anniversary of D -day with a couple bus loads of American Legion and VWF folk.

  I painted - in encaustic - the bunkers and area around it and then added the photo of the soldiers. (printed onto tissue paper and embedded into the encaustic and embellished from there)

   The painting is 20W by 16 T and framed in a float frame. It is available on my Etsy shop.

   All for today - Take Care

Fayetteville PA Quilt shop

Hallo,

   While we were up Gettysburg way - we stayed at an AirBnB near Fayetteville PA and kept driving by this quilt shop. I had to stop in and am proud to say that I didn't even buy any material!!!!

  They had a wonderful display of antique sewing machines - some of them quite small. They also had a great classroom and a heart attack worth of fabric!!!

  We also managed to explore a few of the local antique/thrift/flea markets.

  All for today - Take Care

Horse lovers basket

Hallo,

   It is really difficult to find vintage reticulated plates with horses on them. You can find a ton of beautiful ones without the holes (non reticulated).

   I had 2 of these small plates - the first one I did in tans and grays and this one in grays and black. 

   The basket is 8.5 inches round and 2 inches tall.

   All for now - have a great week!!!
