RS Poster

I have made MANY a poster for church in my time. I wish I had taken photos of each one, but was always too lazy I guess. But I did take a picture of this one for our most recent RS activity.

I Think That I shall Never See….

….some plywood lovely as a tree.

I was asked to paint this tree as a backdrop for a display at our church women’s symposium this weekend. I believe they are going to hinge these three sheets of plywood together to stand them up, and then have a table and some paintings of the Savior displayed. I hope this is what they wanted and that it all comes together.

This tree went through quite a few stages (some of them spooky looking) and at one point I really liked it before there were any leaves, but this was not what I was asked to paint. So Maybe I will paint myself another blue and red leafless tree for myself.

Alvin the Robot

I have a friend who likes to tell stories to her son Calvin about a robot that lives in their “basement”. (They do not actually have a basement) The robot’s name is Alvin, and he only makes good choices. Calvin is probably stuck somewhere between being slightly skeptical of Alvin and the secret basement and really wanting to see this robot. If this was a children’s book, this is the image of a page in my mind.

Model Home Paintings

Lifesavers

I immortalized my husband in a model home.

Get Your Wiggles Out T-Shirt

A doodle that turned into a t-shirt idea featuring a popular primary song.

Not Every Rose Has It’s Thorn

I did this canvas for a friend of mine to go in her daughter’s room. It was customized to match the bedding, and hopefully I will get a photo of the painting on the wall in the room

Gwendoodle

Just s doodle of Gwen’s name. She has good letters in her name. Especially the ‘G’.

Wetenkamp Stamp!

A friend gave me a stamp carving kit several months ago and I have been waiting for that perfect stamp idea to use it. Jimmy’s mom is a huge Stampin’ Up extraordinaire and her birthday was in July. I thought that surely I could carve a unique stamp that she didn’t have or couldn’t get (which ain’t easy for a Stampin’ Up consultant!) I racked my brain for weeks trying to think of the perfect stamp. I finally came up with a stamp that will probably never actually be used, but is certainly one of a kind. It’s more sentimental than anything. I carved the Wetenkamp family homestead. A place beloved by all. I have to say that it turned out MUCH better than I anticipated given the amount of times the knife slipped and my tongue as well. (not really) I need to get a photo of the stamp itself because it is kind of cool lookin’ too.

Phineas & Ferb

There is a cartoon program called Phineas & Ferb that happens to be a favorite of Natalia’s friend, Calvin. So Calvin had a Phineas & Ferb birthday party, and I was asked to paint these boards for the party. I think he liked them.
