This hand painted table runner is 40" X 15". Stars and stripes are all hand pained.

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.

Contact me if you wish to have a different length. I generally do 30 X 15, 40 X 15 and 50 X 15.

This is a great way to decorate your table, breakfast bar or even your coffee table.

This 22" X 27"  Floor cloth is all hand painted with a unique crackle background and pretty little flowers stretching their stems.  There is so much texture in this piece and fits with earthy tones just perfectly. (Note: The name of the business and artist are a watermark and will not be present on your floor cloth)

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 prime 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.  

Please contact me at Susiewhc@gmail.com for questions or invoicing.  I prefer the versatility of Paypal so buyers can use credit cards, echecks or their Paypal accounts.

Salt Box House

This is a blast from the past.  Years ago I made and sold these Salt Box Houses at craft fairs.  I did enjoy making them and still have my templet that I created.  I think I might make a few more and see how it goes.  I'll change them up a bit, but I liked the size of them.  

Customer Pictures

Here is a couple of customer pictures from a wholesale order I did.  I love it when you can see that your customer was excited enough to take pictures as soon as they opened the packages.  I hope these floor cloths sell well in her shoppe.

The finished bag is about 7 X 8"  and has three compartments. The cross the body strap is approximately   24".  Holds a cell phone so nicely in its front pocket.

This is the perfect bag to use when going out antiquing, flee markets or shopping.  I love using mine everyday.

Fabrics are limited but will create with similar fabrics as needed.  This bag has been selling quickly on my social network site..

Beautiful Day!

I think we are looking at the beginning of a very pretty day in Florida.  The humidity is low and it is slightly cooler out.  I hope it will just last though out the day so I can paint floor cloths and actually have the paint dry.

Customer emails me out blue

This is a floor cloth I did a few years back and sold on ETSY.  Today I got an email from the customer who purchased it so long ago.  She wanted to let me know she still is enjoying as much as the day she got it.  That made my day.

Blog face lift

I did a few neat updates to my blog, specifically my banner.  Thank you to Brenda Griffin who now has me hooked on PicMonkey.  What a fun way to play with your pictures.

Turned the A/C back on

Sorry to all my northern friends, but it's warm in Florida.  I would probably enjoy it if I could just relax and the beach, but no time for that right now.  Out to the studio to cut and hem canvas for some floor cloths.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Movie Day

I took some time off from prepping canvas for my floor cloth order...it had to dry anyway. 

My daughter and I went to see Frozen.  Can I just say this movie was absolutely amazing.  The artistic images were beyond my imagination.  Good job Disney Animators.  The story and the music was also outstanding.  Can't wait until it becomes a Broadway Show.

Now back to stretching canvas.  

Don't be afraid of a floor cloth!

Floor cloths are such a hard thing to get people to buy into.  They worry about walking on them! Well I can tell you that I have been using my floor cloths in my home for many years and they are super durable.  They add a burst of color to your room, easy to maintain and hard to ruin.  

I am so happy to say that I just received a large order for floor cloths today.  So happy about this.  They will be making a journey to an Rhode Island Primitive Shoppe.  

Yay for Friday

I really am blessed to have a day job that pays the bills and a home job that add support to the day job.  Today I sit here at my computer working up some wholesale prices for a new client, what an amazing feeling.  Wish me luck that it all works out.

Have a Wonderful Weekend everyone!

Clearing and Cleaning

After many weeks of planning, my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party was wonderful.  My art areas on the other hand were not.  Yesterday was all about cleaning up my garage work space where I create my floor cloths.  What a huge job it became, but I feel more organized and ready to start.  Today will be about my "inside" art room.  Small space + too much stuff = another big project.  

Whimsy Snowman Family Floor Cloth and Welcome Mat

22" X 29" Floor cloth

I have hand painted and designed this floor cloth to welcome friends and family to your door during the Holiday Season.

This happy family is stringing lights on a few feather trees.

All of my floor cloths are made with #8 canvas.  I start by pre-shrinking the canvas and machine stitching a 2" mitered hem. The canvas is then primed on both sides.  The design is protected with 4 to 5 coats of polyurethane.  This is also applied the to underside of the floor cloth to protect from moisture.  I finish by adding a layer of floor wax for extra protection.  Floor cloths are very durable and require minimal care, just sweep and mop.



Installation and care instructions will be included with your order.
