This piece of craftwood is from Key industries, cost $3.40c. It is 35cm wide. It has a routed edge.
I adapted and painted this design to fit the wood. It would make a really good beginers piece as the liner work would be good practice.
The craftwood is painted with Jo Sonja, Harbour blue background colour, I used a Jo Sonja sky blue background colour as a wash over the base and with cling wrap I smudged it around a little, carefully taking off the cling wrap.
A few mistakes, the pattern looks flat at the top, by adding another flower faceing outwards would greatly improve the pattern. Also the ears on the possum look like they come from the eyes, (this I did not see untill I took the photo). Simply add some more grey fur just above the eyes.
The original pattern is by Judi Beggs, found in an old The Art of Folk Art, book, Volume 32.
This next pattern is also found in the same book.
Painted on the same size craftwood cut out, this time painted with Jo-Sonja Mustard Seed. This pattern was very small so I enlarged it and then repeted the middle part three times and changed a few buds.
Ladies and gents,
Have Fun,
