Folksy Handmade - Summer Garden

Summer Border Suncatcher Cards
JoSara

This week is a feel good Folksy Friday with a selection of garden views. I have just completed a set of suncatcher cards that are designed to let the sun through to light up the colours, and light up the recipents day too. Just making these cards gave me the feel good factor that a flower border in summer brings. So I thought I'd share that and collect a whole page of summeryness. I have tried to select things that have had the garden design totally created by the designer/artist. That way there's a great selection of styles, and crafts.

To see more pictures and get the full details on any of the items, just click on the pic to go to the shop.

Folksy Handmade - Gallery

A Folksy Gallery.
This is just a selection of the fantastic paintings, photography, and prints that can be found on Folksy. I've picked out images and paintings that have caught my eye, but there are loads more to choose from. Judging by what I've picked I think I have a liking for bright colour, and pictures with lots of interest in them. Whatever your taste, you're bound to find something that would look great on your wall. You could even create a gallery on a wall at home.

Folksy Handmade - Abstract


I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what abstract means when it comes to art and design. Not officially anyway. I know what I personally think it is, and I've put together a collection of items based on my idea of abstract, which is something represented by shapes and colour in a loose way. You might have a different idea of what abstract is. There's probably loads of interpretations. But I hope you like my selections anyway.

The menu of shop links is below the gallery, and see a selection of the items on the Pinterest board using the Folksy Handmade link -

Folksy Handmade - Aqua & Gold Fish

For this week's Folksy Friday I thought I'd gather a shoal of fish together. Did you see on the news that they are having to move fish out of some streams and rivers as they dry up in the drought? All the fish they were netting were silver. It got me to thinking that somewhere in the world the rivers and streams have goldfish in them as their wild fish, and some have those brilliant neon aqua-blue fish that you see in aquariums. Wouldn't that be great? Shoals of goldfish and neons swimming in our streams. So, in honour of that odd train of thought, I've put together a collection of exotic blue and gold fish. (Shop links below the gallery. For the Pinterest board follow the Folksy Handmade link.)
