This Floor cloth is 36 inches x 48 inches and was painted on the back of a linoleum remnant that was a "give away" at a local flooring company. It was a great surface to paint on.

Re: Is it REALLY a Watermelon?

Re: Pyrex Trays - Take One

Re: The REAL Inspiration!

Thanks for the offer of an email of the picture. I would really like that. I have looked at these pictures and I could almost come up with a children's story about an old tree and the house. I'll be happy to share the result of the painting and the story if I get to it.

Re: The REAL Inspiration!

Great Photos. I want to use the last one with the big oak in a painting. I've been looking for just the right thing to do for a tree subject. I'll share when I get the painting done.

Re: My "Pot Lady"

Really cute. We did these when I had a shop and sold them as fast as we could make them. They weren't quick and easy to make. Yours are great.

Re: A planter, or not a planter, that IS the question!

What great ideas. Why pay high prices for planters when all you have to do is look around in the lawn shed and the closet. I'm inspired to update my backyard garden. Thanks for sharing all these neat ideas

Re: Repurposed Footboard

What a great idea for an old foot board. Makes me want to throw away the head board so I can paint the foot board as a sign.
