That's a wrap. Months in the making but very excited to have completed this toybox and share it with an expecting family that happens to include a great employee.
It's not perfect; there are always things I would correct (I can never keep lettering straight with a brush!) I am still mostly happy with the end result and look forward to delivering this tomorrow.
Congrats kiddo! I hope you and your family enjoy!

Been a minute. I only create projects for special people and when time allows. New one in the works. An employee is having her first baby (so exciting). Making a toybox. Theme is hunting.(she is not on my facebook so still a surprise).
Been kinda struggling with combining hunting and baby but think I am there..one side done.
Opinions.
Handwriting is hard and kinda messy but I tried. Can you read it and does the white show enough or should I redo with another color? Thanks.

Came across these gems recently. I sketched them at least 20 years ago. Eventually they inspired me for my kiddo's toybox. Garfield always makes me smile. 🥰

So...can finally share my latest project. Totally different for me but maybe the one that means the most. It has been a long time since I picked up pencils, but for my very favorite people, sometimes, I want to do something special. So I sketched (and attempted to "write") but definitely was a first and may not do again. Lol:

It is not very often that I get time to make items, but when I do, it is for people that matter or have made an impact and I enjoy it! Also, it has been a challenge to find boxes from my usual suppliers.

It is a bit harder to see on the dark wood but it was different and I loved it! This toybox was so much fun for me and even more special because it was for dear friends!

Been a minute, but new project in the works for the past month or two. Hopefully finished this week. Feels good to pick up a brush on lazy, rainy days!

Jewelry box birthday surprise

Wow. Suddenly a lot of traffic. I am still figuring out how this page works. Thankyou all for the support. Very kind. If anyone wants to see what i do. I will send pictures. I cant even seem to create albums. Ugh.

If anyone is interested in a project piece, and does not want to buy online, I have a toybox. When I create something, I do not ask payment. I only ask that you provide the piece/materials that you want painted. This was purchased by my father for my son. We simply do not have the room for it. He has not even cracked the lid open in 4 years. I have held onto it because my dad bought it. But so far have not designed it. It is solid wood. Solid hinges and fixtures. Measurements are 41" w x 29" h x 16 1/2" d, give or take (if you trust me with a tape measure). Based on other market products, I will accept $80 for the box (negotiable). I am not good at this stuff. I think that is cheap. I will still provide design, cushion, and all supplies. Pm if interested.

Another project. Truly fun to make and for very special people.

What I do? I paint. I am not a professional or technically an artist. This is not for profit or business, it is purely joy. I have always loved sketching and painting. I got away from it for a long time for personal reasons. Getting back to what I enjoy is important to me and to share it with close friends and family means even more.
