Roll me over,  I am done.  This purse has taken way too long to finish.  But I’m glad now I kept at it.  It’s fun. It’s wild,  I like it. 

It’s painted, thread sketched, beaded, and some other stuff.  Now I want to paint on canvas real bad.  Gotta get to work on some canvas.  xoxoxo PJ

WIP

This purse has got a ways to go before it’s finished.  But I’m liking the dog so much,  I had to show him too.  The B&W check is going to be the lining.  Kinda wild,  huh?  So far,  I’ll working on this one while I wait for paint to dry on the fish purse.  I can’t just sit still.  Drives me crazy.  I’m making these up as I go along.  Yes,  I had a pattern,  but I can not stick to those things.  Gotta do it my way.  Which drives some folks crazy.  A  friend…  former acquaintance use to  say.. “PJ you always have to do it your way”.   Well,  I’d hope so,  it’s my life,  my art.  Why would I want her to screw it up?  LOL…  Makes me giggle just thinking about it….

This one has beads,  lots of metallic threads, buttons.  I’m really liking this one.  Got a crazy idea for the edge.  Hope it does what I want it to do.  It won’t break my heart if it doesn’t.  That’ll just head me in a different direction.  The shiny threads and beads didn’t show up well in this photo.  But they sparkle in the light.  Very fun.  I still haven’t started the shoulder strap.  Hope to get that done tomorrow. 

I think I’m going to put the same b&w check lining in this one also.  Love that fabric… it’ll pop when you open the purse.  Yes,  I am having fun.  The flu/plague interrupted for a few days,  but I got lots of beading/painting done today. 

Hope I have lots to show you tomorrow.  Have a great Sunday.  Feed the birds,  it makes them happy. xo PJ

folk art cats…

03/17/2010 · 4 Comments

Finished these last night.  They do have an attitude.  They’ll be on the Online art gallery page in just a sec.  and probably on Etsy too.  Gotta get my act together to get all this stuff done.  My purse is waiting for me.  It’s calling my name.  Gotta make an ugly purse….

here kitty kitty….

Leona has her very own pet bird…. don’t know what kind it is, but she does love those hot pink feathers on it’s head. Gotta be thinkin’ of a name for that bird… something real different like… Vernell.  What do you think? Is that a folk art primitive painting or what?

the men in my life…. I carved these many many years ago… true primitives.  The two shorter ones are the very first ones I carved.  So glad I kept them.  The white guy has fallen over so many times, he’s broken his bat brim off.  Oh well, he don’t care.  Those two and the one with the tall hat are my favorites.  Folk art talks to you.  It always has a story.

Tomorrow’s Friday.  Get yourself tuned up for the weekend.  Try to keep it fun and legal. LOL

cats everywhere…

03/11/2010 · 2 Comments

I got to paint some today.  Made me very happy!  Some how,  I ended up starting 4 paintings at one time.  I may be going crazy or something….   3 are very funny cat paintings.  I have one  almost  finished.  Got a bird on his head…  a strange bird for a strange cat. :)    These are all small paintings.  Then I’ve started a flower something or other.  I think it might be a still life?  Never know what to call my paintings.  Folk art is always safe… after that… I have no idea. 

I’m now going to be a happier camper.  It’s been hot here for the last couple of days.  Or hot in my house.  Not a good thing for asthma.  Asthma can be very picky about the weather… and a lot of other stuff. 

But the REPAIR MAN from heaven came today.  He declared the air is fixed!  Yea!  Have no idea what the bill is going to say,  but right now I just don’t care.  I can breathe!  So that means I can paint! Yea! And that means PJ won’t be a cranky artiste`…. Ha!  Ok,  ok,  not as cranky….

Did I tell yall that I’m doing commissions?  All those details are on the Commission page at the top.  Email  your idea to me,  and we’ll see what we can do.

Yall have a fun day tomorrow.  And check back to see if I finished any of those cats.  xo PJ

Waiting…

01/23/2010 · 4 Comments

Just hanging around,  trying to be good,  taking all that medication,  wishing all the dust in the world would go away.  Asthma is not fun.  I’ve decided I don’t want it anymore.  Nada.  I’m canceling my subscription.  Roll me over,  I am done. 

So today I finally got to watch a video I had downloaded.  A class on painting with thread/free motion quilting.  Can’t remember the womans name right this minute.  But she’s really good at what she does.  And I was able to watch the entire thing without getting crazy.  (I get bored fast)  Now I can’t wait to try some of it. 

But that’ll have to wait until I get a couple of commissions finished.  I’m way behind on those…. and it’s driving me crazy.  I’m hoping by next week I’ll be back in the studio,  working like crazy to make up sitting and watching reruns on Law & Order. 

Today I did update my Etsy store.  pjsfolkart.etsy.com  I’ve wanted to get some hearts on there.  Hearts seem to be my favorite lately.  I’d like to do a whole wall of them.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  From heart shrines to paintings, to fabric, to clay, to…. whatever else pops up.

Ya’ll have a great weekend.  I’m going to have a lazy one.  Try my best not to talk too much.  :)   Well,  that I may have to cross my fingers on.  xx

folk art portrait…

01/20/2010 · 6 Comments

Just wanted to show you a folk art fabric painting I’ve been working on.  It’s not even close to being finished. 

 Aren’t those white eyes creepy?  Got to get those done.  I’m painting her on muslin,  then I’ll do embroidery and beading.  Takes time,  but I’m enjoying doing these. 

Now I want to show you what I have to do with the painting so Shirley (that cat)  doesn’t sleep on it.

 I tried just using the cooking racks… but Shirley would sleep on those.  I know she does it to drive me crazy.  That cat has a plan, she is not fooling me.   So I put the jars of pencils on top.  So far she can’t move them. 

Now to show you what I had to do with my paint brushes…. errrr…..

   I had them standing up in pretty jars,  right where I’d need them,  easy to reach.  But Shirley loves my brushes.  She loves to scratch her head on them.  So then I end up painting with cat hair.  Not fun. I’m going blind picking out cat hair.  So this is the new plan.  I’m thinking it’s too tight for her (fat cat) to squeeze in there to lay on them.  What do you think?  Ignore the dirty floor…

Between migraines and now asthma,  Shirley has been in the studio more than I have.  I tend to get cranky if I can’t work,  so Richard’s now putting Shirley outside every morning.  She ain’t happy,  but I am.  :)

be still my heart…

01/09/2010 · 2 Comments

This photo isn’t exactly straight,  but I promise the black canvas is.  Looks like I got a little hyper on this one.  I love all that color in the threads, beads,  and the paint.  Finally had to make myself quit,  and pronounce it ‘done’.

It’s cold in Texas right now, so that means it’s too cold in my studio to do much.  So with this I can pile up in the bed with Herbert (my Chihuahua),  do embroidery,  bead,  and watch Law & Order all day.  Only bad thing is when I drop beads in the bed.  Those things are painful when you’re trying to take a nap.  Doesn’t bother Herbert.  Nothing bothers Herbert.  He’s Mr. Cool.   

This one and the other two will be on the Gallery – Online page shortly.
