Inside this Issue — October 2010

Celebrate Autumn

Experience the brilliant hues of nature’s most colorful season with this issue’s diverse selection of fall-themed projects. These seasonal favorites—including a basket, a magazine rack, a floorcloth, a clutch, a wagon, trays, plaques, and various framed paintings—will bring that special handcrafted touch to your harvest home.

This issue also features a special collection of painted sunflowers. Paint one or all four of these exquisite projects, each featuring a different technique. Since watercolors are all the rage, I’m certain you’ll be pleased with Kathi Hanson’s bold and bright Sunflower Watercolor. Connie Parkinson’s Sunflower and Lavender Fields Tray is an inspiring design that will transport you in spirit to the tranquility of Provence. The Sunflower Basket by Roxanne Jarvis is a little less conventional than some of our other paintings, as it was designed for artists who want to try something new and are ready for a challenge. For those who prefer to paint on fabric, Beth Wagner’s Sunflower Canvas Tote is both functional and fashionable. Certainly we can all use another tote!

Meet artist/teacher Debbie Cotton in this issue’s “Painter’s Profile” column. Debbie is known for her unique, detail-filled style that incorporates vintage logos. Be sure to check out her vintage farm wagon project.

Are you ready to try a fun, new technique? If so, you’ll want to read Tracy Moreau’s “Faux Cloisonné” article. And, if you want to make a fashion statement, paint her Faux Cloisonné Clutch and step out in style!

New this issue is our book review column entitled “The Book Nook” by Susan Mynyk. Read all about Susan’s favorite picks!
