orange.

i got a craving for something with a little (lot) color over the holidays. spraypainted a tray orange. check it.

window as art

i just finished this job for a interior designer friend. she is designing a nursery, and had me paint this lewis and sheron fabric pattern into the frames of an old window. the window will hang above the baby's crib as art, and the walls (and ceiling!) are painted a veryyyyyy pale robin's egg blue. it's really cute! i can't wait to see what the window looks like when it's installed...

here is the lewis and sheron pattern that is being used for the drapes (they're really pretty...):

here is the window before i began...

here it is after i painted it...jessica asked me to paint and distress the frame in the mushroom color, and painted the little square patterns inside the glass. i made them slightly un-even so that it would come across as painted, but not so perfect that it just looked like the fabric was glued to the insides. such a fun idea for artwork for a baby's room...

here is the detail shot of the distressed frame...

pardon the ashy skin (it's cold), but i made some jewelry.

i made some rings, and they are for sale. check info below photos for pricing  :)

simple hand-twisted gold wire rings with one glass bead. i can make these in any color bead you request, but i only have one of each color! they are $6 + $1.00 shipping. this one is turquoisey blue...

this one is a sort of fleshy-yellowey gold color...very neutral and dainty. $6 as well, plus one dollar shipping.

stacked! (also can be any size...)

here is another one...with a little tiny coral piece. beach lovers! the coral one is $6, too. 

turquoise and red wrapped cocktail ring...$18. one dollar shipping...any size...

vintage "sugar" dipped teal green cocktail ring. fun and festive. any size. $15.

chocolate brown + vintage pearl cocktail ring. $17 + one dollar shipping...

black and vintage pearl wrapped cocktail ring. can be any size. $17. 

all the rings like to hang out together, so maybe you should buy all of them. :)

email me at: kristen.fountain@gmail.com for purchasing and information. all rings are price listed + one dollar per ring for shipping. unless you buy two or more rings...then price for shipping stays at $2. i'm not sure how many rings i'm going to make, so get 'em while they're hot, folks. 

pet portraiture.

here are a couple of furry friends that i painted for someone's christmas gift...of course i am an idiot and didn't take photos with my actual camera, but with my camera phone...

here is the photo i snapped with my camera phone before they were actually done..

...and here is the photo i am tagged in on facebook by the owner of said dogs. anyway...

if you or someone you know is interested in a pet portrait, i am up for commissions! (16 by 20 inch canvas, unless otherwise specified) $200/painting, and email me at: kristen.fountain@gmail.com.
