Artist Bio

Hello there! My name is Doreen. I'm a Yankee transplant and glad to be living in the mountains of Western North Carolina! I've been crafting as long as I can remember and always liked to antique my items even when I didn't know that's what it was. :) Currently (I say that cause my interests change) I'm into primitive doll making and penny rug mode. Since I give my dolls personality, lots of them are OOAK. I also do lots of sampler type stitcheries. Most of the frames are painted by me and distressed, then antiqued. All frames are solid wood. Check out my offerings and be sure to stop in often. I plan to put a mixture of my items on here and I'll be adding new items as others sell. (or if I make something I like better and want to change them out) God bless, Doreen p.s. Shipping charges will be added on by Pay Pal at checkout. I only charge actual shipping, so any overcharge will be promptly refunded. If you purchase more than one item, I'll be combining them to save you on shipping. Most packages can be shipped for less than $6.00 in the U.S., which is lower than me putting a separate shipping price on each item individually. Don't want the government to get anymore of your money than necessary. :) If you don't mind your purchase being shipped First Class, that can save you even more on shipping charges as long as it weighs less than 13 ounces. If you have any concerns about shipping charges, feel free to email me. Happy shopping!

Primitive Garden wreath

18 inch Primitive Garden wreath. I cut out the shapes myself from recycled mahogany, so it's real lightweight. After cutting out the sign and the primitive flowers, I painted them, then sanded the edges for a distressed look, antiqued them with Folk Art antiqing medium, and then sprayed them with matte acrylic sealer. Each piece is attached to the wreath with a strong piece of black baling wire. To give the wreath some more color and a wonderful scent, I added in some dark red and green Sweet Annie. I also added some tied pieces of americana tan and barn red plaidhomespun fabric for an extra little prim touch. Then I took it to a local barn for the photograph.

The wreath is a 18" grapevine and I added a wire loop on the back so it can be hung either on a wreath hook, wreath stand, or on the wall.

Price - $29.95
