Ikat, Goldleaf, and Prints, OH MY!


 Here's what Ive been up to this week! Keep an eye out for these on my Etsy shop, also don't forget I can take any of your requests or personalized orders! Just send an email to Thecraftykd@gmail.com


I ran out of coffee this week (such a drag) so I settled with tea for a few days. I was inspired by my red zinger tea box with the hibiscus and the tropical design. Loving the painted frame on this one as well, its the first time Ive done a fo-frame before ( oh just made up a word there) ;-)
Add Who doesn't love an ikat print? I know I do, but Im especially loving the colors in this
piece, plus the goldleaf is stunning.
  
{The Golden Trio}
These three panels are so vibrant and look fantastic together.

Im IN LOVE! I mean how could you not love these colorful canvases with goldleaf? They make a great addition to your desk, or a mantlepiece (as an idea.) I love adding metallics to my room decor. Recently I redid some random items around my room and created a silver and gold accent shelf  
  



 This funky little canvas add color and excitement to any room. Would be a great gift as well. The goldleaf is hard to capture on camera with this one, but it really makes the whole painting. 
You've gotta LOVE a multi-print canvas! I Love painting these because you can mix and match your favorite prints. This would be perfect at the beach!










Stay tuned for more!

Playing around with time-lapse while working on a painting. 
My selfie stick really came in handy for this ;-)

Coming soon to a wall near you....

I've been working on all of these painting for the last week! Postings going up by tomorrow, make sure to check out my etsy page :-) 






The perfect personalized gift....


 Do you Taboo? An oldie but a goodie, one of my all time favorites. 

 This was a custom order I did for a customer in New York. It was really fun painting the NYC print, and I loved how excited my customer was when she received it. 
 This little pumpkin right here was the most festive pumpkin I've ever decorated! I really had fun with this project, might have to do another one this halloween =) 


 Debutante stools are my favorite!! I love the collaboration and personalization of this special item. I even had to jazz up an old stool of my own ;) 

 This right here!!!! Is a rare piece that I actually kept for myself! Im obsessed with this mirror. Hoarding all of my old agendas paid off in a beautiful way. (Fun tip for old agenda pages) 
I love this quote, and this painting. I made this for one of my managers to hang in her office at work. (Might have to make another for myself ;)...) 


 This is one of the canvases that I monogrammed for a customer, I can always add a monogram to any of my paintings so don't be afraid to ask! 


 This giant right here.... IS STILL SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM. I don't know why I haven't at least enjoyed it for myself, but instead it stays in the corner still looking for its forever home. It's a 24x30 (perfect size for above the bed.) 




 Recruitment or work, Clipboard come in handy! These are some of the clipboard I have done for customers in the past. 
This is a cooler that I painted for one of my sisters, and you guessed it Carolina Cup! 
I can paint coolers big and small, they make a great addition to your "dressed up to get messed up" look ;-) !


Custom orders from the past...















Heres more as promised ! 

These are a selection of previous orders I've done for customers. The collage ones are still some of my favorite pieces I've ever done... ( working on another one now ;) stay tuned)
