Summary:
Nothing looks more beautiful in a flourishing garden than decorative items painted with traditional folk art designs--the combination of nature and old-fashioned, rustic imagery works perfectly. These patterns, along with instructions for basic brushstrokes and priming surfaces, make it simple to turn everything from ceramic pots to old wheelbarrows into unique pieces festooned with elaborate landscapes, floral scenes, wreaths, swags, posies, and arabesques. Adorn a watering can with a garden view that features flowers and a white lattice fence. An umbrella stand features a country village, complete with windmills, a charming house, rolling hills, and white puffy clouds floating in a blue sky. There are a birdhouse and feeder, gardening tools and gloves, apron, pots, chairs, windchimes, and more!
