                                                       My Chairs from the past...

 "pLaY tiMe" (sold)   I was inspired by primary colors for this piece and decided to also work with different textures for the fabric of the chair. I used worn out denim material for the back and used a bright red fabric for the seat of the chair and added rope for a whimsical touch.  I took the whole chair apart, sanded it down and repainted it after painting it with a couple of different coats of paint It went through a distressing session to show the different layers. I painted the wooden letters A, B & C with a bright primary yellow and added this to the chair as I assembled all the parts back together. Fun! Fun! Fun!
   "*Dragonfly Dreams*" (sold)  I just adored a dragonfly pillow I found and It took me back to when I was a little girl where I remember chasing these winged creatures around  thinking maybe they would lead me to a magical place where pixies lived. I was inspired by the pillow and I created this child size rocker it has everything a little girl dreams of ... silky ribbons, pink and white flowers and of course dragonfly's.  Sit here and rock gently... close your eyes and dream...it might just take you to a magical place where the pixies play. This is a child sized rocking chair with a pillow to match.
 "My Secret Garden"  (sold)   This piece is truly unique I loved painting and creating this stepladder chair.  River rock is painted all along this chair as exotic orchids grow along the side as you wander through the river rock soft getle moss is laid at places and the design is painted to work with the change from chair to stepladder. Perfect for a sun room filled with your lush green plants or have the chair speak for itself and place it in a special place to decorate and serve as a conversation piece. The back of the chair is very unique I loved the knot on the piece of  wood that I found just for this piece so much that  I left the knot unpainted  and stained it for it's natural beauty to shine through.  This chair went through an aging session after all the painting was done and it is sealed with a matte finish.
 "Serenity" (sold)  Close your eyes and think peaceful thoughts imagine that you are in a tropical garden...do you hear the sound of the bubling brook...the water gently cascading down river stones..the warm breeze touches your skin as you relax and enjoy the exotic flowers and foliage around you...shhhhhhh...do you see that a monarch butterfly lands beside you as you sit peacefully in this place where you find serenity.
 "The Lady in Red" (sold) Bold and Beautiful this chair says... Look at me! I wanted to paint a piece in honor of Wisconsin and as we all know Wisconsin badgers love RED and WHITE ans this is what came of my pursuit of that vision. A deep red chair with a single white rose laying on it's seat. A white roe a symbol of purity and love such is how a true Wisconsin Badger feels about this great state.
 "Matthew's" (sold) This is a hand painted customized stool for a very special boy it bears a wooden bat with a baseball and yellow stars on the side of this piece, along with lace stitching running around the legs of the stool.

 I love finding chairs that just "speak" to me the problem is everytime I see a chair it says "take me home".  
 I also make and paint other items, because I believe inSpiRation
comes in different shapes and sizes.
