For the love of decoupage

I just completed this decoupaged chair I will be selling at the vintage show I'll be
going to this fall.   Everything is done but the many coats of varnish.  My art room
is covered with paper clippings from this project. What a mess it makes but oh how
I love doing it. :-) 

Vintage suitcase

Looking forward to having a booth this fall at Petticoats on the Prairie vintage

craft show https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Petticoats-on-the-Prairie/111992208851250.  This is the piece I created yesterday to take to the show.  I'm adding

just a few vintage inspired pieces that are decoupaged, and of course

some artwork that has that vintage look as well.  I just can't wait!  This

will be my first "booth" experiece.  I've been looking for just the right show, so that it will be worthwhile.

I went to this show last year and decided this is the one!!!

I'm sharing the booth with a friend, that will be showcasing her scarves and other handsewn pieces.

We are busy designing our booth and gathering items for displaying our goods.  Today

I'm working on a decoupaged chair that's similar to the suitcase above.  Hope to have

pictures to show soon.  Have a lovely weekend!! 

New projects

The painting is a lot different than those you usually see from me. 

 I stepped out of my "box" a bit, and comfort zone, since I've never really painted a

close up portrait before.  It was a lot of fun though.  I think

I may try to do some others, even a series like this.  This piece

is titled "Deborah" after the character in the Bible, with her

fearless determination and strength. It will be for sale shortly in my

Etsy.com shop.

Before I finished "Deborah" I did this painting

Getting the placement right....kind of tricky :-)

Here it is...."Love came down and rescued me".  This

is from a song by the same title. 

Here's the close up.  Love doing these lyrics and scripture paintings.

Blessings!  Terri

It is finished...for now anyways!! WhooHoo!

Well, it took some time because of some difficulties and being out of town, but my website is
finally up and running.  WhooHoo!!  Here's the link:http://www.terrichaney.com/
What a relief to have that done.  It will need some design tweeking as I can get around to that
and learn a little more about it, but the main thing is I Have A WEBSITE!!!  So very happy about
that!!
