Zahara - Zen Art Doll

$150.00   contact me at Susiewhc@gmail.com

Zahara is an art doll that stands about 10" tall.  She is standing on a sconce that hangs easily hangs on a wall with a light weight nail.  The whole piece is about 14" tall by 12" wide.

This one of a kind doll was created and designed by me using vintage fabrics and thrift store finds.  

 I sculpted Zahara out of paperclay and attached her to a candle holder/sconce I found at a thrift shop. This little red head is draped in beautiful gold toned clothing made from vintage fabrics. She meditates silently with her hands to heart center; her mala resting around her beaded wrists.
She peacefully holds a tree pose in the middle of a lovely lotus. The lotus was created by sculpting each petal out of wire and filling with pink shear fabric, and finally embellishing with natural elements of moss and fern.

Wonderland OOAK Sculpture

$250 plus ship

Contact me at Susiewhc@gmail.com for questions or purchase

This is a one of a kind sculpture. Standing about 20" high is my version of Wonderland.

It all started with a thrift store find.  I spied an iron candle stick with a blue half-moon made of glass and saw the Cheshire Cat smiling back at me.  I couldn’t wait to get started, only to find out I would have a hard time stopping………………

As I worked in my little place I call a studio/laundry room, my mind kept willing me to add more and more to this simple candle stick than just a cheesin’ cat.  I began to build upwards making the teacup take the place of where a candle would naturally stand.  The teacup representing the infamous Mad Tea Party, and painted with hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades as to not forget the Queen of Hearts.  Nestled inside the teacup and sitting on his mushroom, is the hookah smoking, cantankerous yet wise old caterpillar. 

Taking center stage wearing a Mad Hat is a Cheshire Cat smiling in his wicked way.  This is where a battery flicker candle makes his smile even more illuminating.  Just below is the small vial of a special potion and the all-important key to Alice’s imagination, along with the pocket watch representing the illusive White Rabbit. 

I hope you enjoy this is a one of a kind sculpture. Standing about 20" high is my version of Wonderland.

So wild are the flowers...........

$65.00
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.

You will receive care and installation instructions with your order.

Thank you for stopping,

Quilts for the floor?

I wish the photos were better, but this is a floor cloth I created sometime ago.  It is with one of my customers now, but it's one of my favorites.  I designed this one shortly after a dear family friend gave me a few of her quilts she collected before she passed away.  I always thought I would create a floor cloth quilt line in her honor and I still may do so.
I would love to know what you think.....feedback is oh so good.

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.

Prim Magazine published my art!!!

That feeling when you are shopping at JoAnn Fabric and you pick up a magazine that you are published in.  It's so weird.  I'm used to looking at other people's work and being inspired.  The thought that someone might flip through the pages of this magazine and get inspired by my work.

It's a hot one

It's already 80 degrees at 6am in Florida!  Yep it's going to be hot today while I'm painting canvas in the garage.  Not looking forward to that at all, but I'm receiving a lot of Fall orders for table runners and floor cloths so I will just have to tough it out.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and a great weekend.

I love my customers!

I love my customers!  I just received the most lovely review from my latest ETSY shipment.  She ordered the White Pumpkin table runner and requested a few little changes that I had no problem with.  It's already on her table in July!

Here is her review:

I am Sooooo delighted with my table runner, there should be more than 5 stars that light up above this review…I would tick them all ! The colours on the runner are just perfect, the Fall leaves and the bittersweet vine make you want to touch them, they look so real…I know it's July, but the table runner with the beautiful, white, pumpkins is going on my dining room table :) Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us...

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.

Honored to be the PFATT Marketplace featured Artist for April

Coverlet Inspired Floorcloth

I'm so happy with the end result here.
This floorcloth will be available for sale at PFATT Marketplace on April 10th along with a couple of other items I created exclusively for PFATT this month.  Please stop by and visit on the 10th to see what is new this month.  I'm honored to be the featured Artist of April.

It's only just begun!!!

Third layer of base color.....now we wait.

Waiting for paint to dry, not one of my strengths.  I'm so excited to start designing this piece.

I'm doing a little time travel here, going back to the early 1800's when the coverlet was a useful and decorative possession to lay over the bed.  So instead of a weaving loom, I will weave with my paint brush and create a floorcloth/oyle cloth that mimics this time period. I am always inspired by quilt and coverlet patterns and don't set aside the time to create them.

This is going to be a Primitive Folk Art Trinkets and Treasures Marketplace exclusive.  I'm really honored to have been asked to be April's featured artist, and I hope you all will stop by PFATT on April 10th to check out all the amazing art. There is something for everyone.
