II've been trawling the charity shops and I got a brilliant book for £2.50 about Folk Art Painting.... now those who know me in the real world will be wondering if I've finally lost the plot, having been banned from CSE art due to my unique approach to painting :-) But what I can do with pictures is knit, crochet or cross stitch from them and the book is serving as a useful source of inspiration for some folk art items I'm having a go at making.
As today's listing for the October Folksfest is a Folk Art Brooch inspired by the book:
I've decided to trawl Folksy and find other FolkArt type items for my
FIRST Folksy Friday. So here are today's offerings:
Image 1 - A luxury tree decoration from
Abbigale
Image 2 - Beautiful heart decorations from
Funky Cinderella
Image 3 - A velvet vintage floral pin from
Daisy Florence Design
Image 4 - An Ammonite Fossil Keyring / Handbag Charm from
Nofkants Curios
Image 5 - a cute and funky Folk Art Frog from
Plain Primitives
Image 6 - a quirky Folk Art Houses Card from
Folk Art PaperCuts By Suzie Taylor

I mainly go to Shirley too Gemma :-) Used to like Bitterne but alot of the shops seem to have disappeared. Am aiming to get out to Lyndhurst soon as have been told they're really good :-)
ReplyDeleteWell seen as though they have a ferrari and masserati (sp?) showrooms there I would imagine the charity shops are something else!
