Hi Deja, there are a couple of suggestions on your post for this over on the decorating forum in case you haven't checked back there yet. Luvs

There is a magazine called "Cottage Style" and you can check that out for ideas. Find it at Walmart, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Here is a sunflower floorcloth that I painted. Hope it gives you an idea.

Evelyn, your sunflower floorcloth is wonderful. ;o) You did a great painting job on it. I didn't know you were a painter. Hope you will post some of your painted projects on the Painting forum in our gallery. Luvs

Thanks Luvsto and Anjabee for the nice comments and the invite to the painting forum.
And thanks and welcome classiccrafter to the forum.
I'm actually not much of a painter this was only my third project ever during my second painting class.
These classes were about six months ago and I haven't painted anything since.
Not sure if I could actually do something on my own without being in a class setting.

Here is the project I did before the sunflower during my first ever painting class.

I so love your sunflower floor cloth! its just beautiful, if I could paint like that I would call myself a painter! beautiful job on your other painting also.
deja, please post photos of yours when done, love seeing all the photo.
Happy Crafting
Oddie

Evelyn, that looks like a pretty difficult project for your first class! Wow! It sure turned out nice. I'd say you have some real painting talent. Grab a book, trace on a pattern and go for it. The more you practice what you've already learned the easier it will be for you. Hard to believe a "beginner" could do either the sunflower rug or the scene, they are very detailed and just beautiful. Please do post them both in the gallery on the Painting forum. I know they will inspire other painters. Luvs
