Today's Featured Artist - Primgals Primitive Palette
Today's Featured Artist is Jody Seilheimer of Primgals Primitive Palette
I live in a sleepy little town called Sandwich, Illinois with my husband of 19 years. We married in 1991 and have a wonderful blended family. I have always had a love of the arts...painting, music, etc since early childhood. Everywhere I went I had a coloring book and crayons, then at the age of 8 my mother took me to my first ceramics class. I have had a brush in my hand ever since. I also love to cross stitch, knit, and make candles when time allows, but my first love has always been primitive and folk art painting.
I have been in business now for 19 years.I started online in 2002, first as Simply Primitive, and then as Primgals Primitive Palette a short time later. Prior to that I did craft shows, supplied my local customers here at home, and also had booths in several craft shops.
I started out at my kitchen table with a handful of paints, and a wood washboard my husband made. I thought it need a little something, and that was the beginning. I then needed an outlet for my painted items, so I started selling at craft shows in 1992. My husband and I did shows on the weekends for several years until I discovered the Internet. I started my online business in 2002 on Ebay and then joined Etsy in 2008.
My work involves most of all planning. Finding the right design for the right surface. I enjoy painting on wood, but also love to paint on vintage pieces I come across at yard sales, estate sales etc. Prepping your surfaces is vital to turning out a quality piece, so I devote allot of time to that. Depending on the piece, it can take an hour or three days to bring it to the finished product.
My favorite is painting wood door crowns. They are hand cut, making my product truly handmade from start to finish. The design possibilities are endless, and they allow me such a creative outlet in choosing how they will turn out. I use many pattern designers such as Terrye French, Donna Atkins, and John Sliney, but all of my work has my personal interpretation of the design, so they are always a challenge, and so much fun to do.
My typical day in the studio is at least 8 hours, and sometimes more, depending on the orders that need to be filled. My day starts with answering emails, and doing promotional work in the mornings, and then I use the rest of the day for painting, packing orders, etc.I usually set the brushes aside in the evenings, and spend that time with my family and friends.
At this time my goal is to concentrate on my shop on Etsy, and to continue to supply my primitive gift shops with products. I have considered having my own website, and hope to get that accomplished in the next year or so.
Handcrafting is to me "Art from the Heart" that cannot be mass produced. Weather you paint, sew, cross stitch, or make soap and candles, a little of your heart goes into each piece. Etsy is a wonderful outlet for handmade, and I support their efforts for keeping the love of handmade available. I try to do my part in supporting handmade on my blog found at http://primgalsprimitivepalette.blogspot.com/
I can be found on Etsy at www.primgal.etsy.com
I also have a shop on Artfire at www.primgal.artfire.com

Today's Featured Artist - Cat's Designs
Today's featured artist is Charlene Tennison of Cat's Designs.
Hi, I'm Charlene Tennison and I live in sunny California. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 43 years. We have three daughters, one still lives at home. She is a special needs child and will probably live with us til I can no longer do it. I have four grandkids and my eldest grandson is serving in the Marines in Afghanistan.
Hi, I'm Charlene Tennison and I live in sunny California. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 43 years. We have three daughters, one still lives at home. She is a special needs child and will probably live with us til I can no longer do it. I have four grandkids and my eldest grandson is serving in the Marines in Afghanistan.
I have been crafting off and on since 1972, but really didn't get started selling seriously til the 90's when I sold in a craft shop on consignment.
I had this friend that took lessons at Cabin Craft with Jo Sonja Jansen and I fell in love with her paintings, so I took a basic strokework class and it all started from there. I started selling my paintings and dolls at Christmas time for extra cash and then I started doing some craft shows. I started selling on Ebay in 2002 and Etsy in 2008. I like dabbling in several crafts such as jewelry, ceramics, soapmaking and sewing.
There's really a lot of steps to making my woodcrafts. I cut all my wood, prepare the surface, paint, and then seal with varnish.
I sew my dolls in between the various steps of my painting projects. I love working with material and the colors. Since I have a special needs child I work during the morning while she is at her school and then at night while she is sleeping.
I really don't have any big plans for my business. But I would like to start designing my own doll patterns.
Crafting is a way for me to express myself and I love to see others faces brighten up when they see my items. I would like to enjoy making my crafts as long as the Good Lord is willing to let me.
