Dear Santa Angels

15 years ago

I wanted to paint "NO PEEKING" on one of these and forgot until I already had these sayings traced on. So I may paint one more that has that saying on it. This is what happens when I have to work and leave projects unfinished. Think this is where Old Timers comes in? ha ha

This is a pattern for a memory book by Lou Ann Stenberg. The name of the book is The Holiday Brush Vol.III. I am going to try to remember to post where the patterns I paint come from in case anyone wants to buy them. Let me know if this is a good idea cuz I'd likt to know who all of you use for painting your projects. Sometimes it's fun to see how different a project looks with using our individual taste on color choice.

Darn, can't see the close up! Can't see what the signs say or any details, but they look pretty cute from here. ha I like how you made them different. You are bringing purple back. ha I'm starting to get visions of a purple and red Christmas. ha
I like knowing where the patterns come from so I can look up the artists for patterns for other holidays too. I try to remember to put them on my posts too.
I better get to painting so I can catch up with you. ha

Wow! You are really painting up a storm, Phonegirl. Three projects in such a short time!

Photobucket has been acting up lately and the "click to enlarge" sometimes doesn't work. We can try back later, and maybe it will be working.

I like to know what artist's designs inspire a project too. And I love to see how each painter makes little changes and adds their own personal touch. I do that allot, but mine is usually just to "simplify" it a bit! Sometimes my final project will hardly resemble the original one--more from my lack of skill than any desire on my part to paint it differently! LOL

So are these little angels going to be gifts for someone? I sure need to get busy on painting some more gift items too. So glad you are painting and sharing with us--hopefully it will shame me into getting busy so I'll have something to share soon too! ;o)

There is no Gymnocalycium species called asturium. There is a G. asterium (typo?), but that is just a (deprecated) synonym for G. stellatum. Many authors now regard the latter as a form of G. quehlianum. The stellatum type have fewer, thicker spines and a more grayish-brown skin than quehlianum. Make your choice ...

With an ice cream bucket filled with frozen 'pea gravel,' this project got underway ...first I thawed out the pea gravel in the house for a few hrs! LOL! Then I added these wonderful HUGE pinecones that were gifted to me from my friend in CA ... aren't they cool. Earlier I had painted these terracotta pots a light green with this project in mind. I intended these pots to go on my patio table for the Winter but for now, I'm keeping them here in the porch decor! My old creamery can holds branch lights & grasses blooming from my gardens: Here's the full view with the old door hutch: Now, look @this @night ... it is simply beautiful! I love lights!! Merry Christmas, 'Holiday-ers!' ~~Jeanne S.

Vonnie, your request intrigued me, so I Googled "How to make a Santa Claus out of a magazine". It brought up a LOT of pictures, maybe studying them would help you figure out how to make one? There were also a number of them offered on Pinterest. This site gives instructions for making one from a paper back book: Magazine Santa . I would think those instructions would work using a Readers Digest, too. Hope the link works, and this helps. Rusty P.S. Apparently the link won't work, here is the web address to copy and paste: www.allfreecrafts.com › Paper Crafts › Paper Recycling

Hopefully this will load right so it can be enlarged. The other ones will let you click now, so here goes another try.

They enlarged this time! Thank you for reposting. Even when I had tried the control key-mouse roller trick, they wouldn't enlarge clear enough for me to read the signs.

They are very cute, and will get lots of comments from your friends and family I'm sure.

Not sure what the plan is for the turquoise one but I'm sure I'll give one of my clients the purple one as part of her Christmas present. She has a purple-liac bedroom and bath and I painted her light switch to match for her last year. She collects angels so this should work.
I may put the other one on a wreath.
I cut out several patterns today for DH to cut so I can start several projects again. I did paint some on another snowman sign. Luvs, I liked the snow I added to the wording on the snowman sign to so will probably do that again. It's so fast to just drag white paint across the tops of the letters. I won't get so carried away with the snow flakes on this one. It's not a good idea to make the little lines and add dots later. To many years since I've painted these.
Happy Painting
