Spring items



Bunny Makes a Wish Welcome Banner
17” X 30” hanging banner is perfect for inside or outside decorating.  Its painted surfaces are protected with polyurethane and floor wax to insure weather resistance.   Hang it by its wire in your patio or covered entry way. 
All of my work is created on raw heavy weight canvas.   I prepare the canvas for paint by preshrinking the fabric and then machine sewing a generous hem with mitered corners.  The decorated side will have two to three coats of the base color before the designing process even begins. Sanding is done between coats and finally the design is painted. After paint cures I apply several coats of polyurethane to both sides. This will protect from daily use and moisture. The finishing touch is rubbing on and buffing off some Johnson's floor wax for extra protection.

This is a hand painted design by Willow Hollow Creations by Susie Krichbaum
SOLD
$45.00 plus $15.00 Shipping

Lilac Floor Cloth
22” X 27” Color popping floor cloth is all hand painted and designed by me

Floor cloths are very durable, easy to clean and pet friendly. They are a wonderful way to add more art to your home....art you can walk on. I personally use floor cloths in most rooms of my home, including under the kitchen table. They all still look great! All of my work is created on raw heavy weight canvas.   I prepare the canvas for paint by preshrinking the fabric and then machine sewing a generous hem with mitered corners. The decorated side will have two to three coats of the base color before the designing process even begins. Sanding is done between coats and finally the design is painted.

My First Art Submission

I'm pretty excited and nervous about submitting some of my work for the Prim Magazine.  This is my first time so I don't know what to expect, but I've been encouraged by my family and some art friends to go for it.  I plan on doing more submissions throughout the year.  Wish me luck.

What's happening at Willow Hollow Creations???

Sorry all.  I've seemed to just drop off the face of the earth at times.  I think about blogging all the time, and then know that I really need to spend that time painting and creating.  I've just had a boost of energy and creative sparks.....new paintings in the very near future to show you.  In the meantime here are a couple of pieces that I painted while trying to figure out what to paint.....kinda ironic, don't ya think?

Floor Cloth with Diamond Colonial Design



$60.00 plus 18.00 shipping

2' X 3' floor cloth in black, heritage red and bread box 


Floor cloths are very durable, easy to clean and pet friendly. They are a wonderful way to add more art to your home....art you can walk on. I personally use floor cloths in most rooms of my home, including under the kitchen table. They all still look great!



I use a heavy weight canvas that I prepare for paint by preshrinking the fabric and hemming with mitered corners. These floor cloths lay flat.



I prim both sides of floor cloth and add two coats of base color to decorated side. Sanding is done between coats and finally the design is painted. After paint cures I apply several coats of polyurethane to both sides. This will protect from moisture and traffic. The finishing touch is rubbing on and buffing off some Johnson's floor wax for extra protection.



You will receive care and installation instructions with your order.



Thank you for stopping,

Reversible Candle Mat


$15.00 plus 5.00 ship
8" hand painted reversible candle mat. Flip it over when the seasons change.
Can even be used as a mouse pad in the office area.

I use the same heavy weight canvas that I use for my floor cloths and prepare and finish so they are just as durable.

Triple stack pumpkin table runner

WOW!! Very popular item and hard to keep in stock. MADE TO ORDER: $50.00 plush 10.00 ship

This hand painted table runner is 50"X15". A nice stack of pumpkins is painted on both ends and framed by vines of bittersweet. I start by pre-shrinking the canvas and machine stitching a 1" hem. After the design is done the table runner is protected with 3 coats of polyurethane on both sides.

A great way to decorate your table, breakfast bar or even your coffee table.

I know I keep showing you sneak peeks of my Christmas items I'm working on.....but I had to show you my work table today with several projects going at once.  Two floor cloths a table runner and a table square.  I've finally got a good flow going and will post pictures of finished products soon.  By that time I hope to have some more Christmas tree skirts started.
