Hand Painted Sheep Pillow Cupboard Tuck

Here's a whimsical pillow or cupboard tuck I hand painted from a cute doodle of two little sheep.  The design was painted on muslin with acrylic paint and then gently sanded back for an aged appearance and backed with an old and tattered cutter quilt.  I made a hang tag, aged with walnut ink, that has the words "Wool For Sale" hand lettered onto it that is attached with a rusty safety pin and a rusted jingle bell.  Available now in my Etsy shop, click here to view my listing and thank you for your interest.

P.S. Do you know who designed this cute doodle?  If so, please let me know through my blog or on Etsy so I can give proper attribution.  Thanks!

Sheep and Rabbit Vintage Image Cutter Quilt Bowl Fillers


Here are four pillow bowl fillers that I've created using some lovely vintage images of rabbits and sheep courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.  The images have been transferred onto aged muslin and I've then backed the tucks with an old and tattered cutter quilt and embellished the bowl fillers with a rusted safety pin and a rusty jingle bell.  Available now in my Etsy shop, click here to view my listing and thank you for your interest.
