Happy Monday! Is it legal to say that?! Shouldn't be. Oh wait, it's also October 1st.. Happy October! That's better. So, I mentioned recently how busy I have been with my string art orders, and they are finally done! I have a moment to catch my breath and finish up my twin chevron side tables that I'll share with you soon finally! For now though, here's peek at the latest string art names, these are all for the same family: What do you think? Tanner & Landon are brothers, and Ava the sister. I love the color combos she chose, really fun. For Ava's, I did something a little new - I put a layer of pink underneath the final colors - not sure if you can see that! And finally, to make things easier for everyone (and to see all the amazing color choices at our fingertips) I set up some color charts for new orders: This should change really speed up the order process. Before, it was a lot of back and forth, and when I showed people the choices I felt like it was a little overwhelming! Hope this helps. Oh, string too: Look at all the beautiful colors....... this way we can be more exact. Before it was like, Customer: Can I get a reddish... but a deep reddish? Me: Sure, you mean like a rust? Customer: No, like a brick... or wine.... Me: more burgundy like? Customer: Definitely not burgundy... more orange.. maybe? And so on! Most important to me was to get the right color for them, so waiting for the package to get to them and see it in person was always nerve wracking, hoping they like the color I chose. So these codes are the same I use at the store, so I can get the perfect match. Now that I'm caught up, I'm thinking of toying with a few new fonts, styles & designs. I'll show you soon!

Drums String Art by Piggy Crafts This handmade personalized string art decoration features a drum set with a name, and it's the perfect gift for music lovers! The letters for the name are 3D Printed using PLA and you can request any word (band name or child's name) to be written on the board. If you want a different color for the drums, please contact me! You can also purchase this item without personalization. No name will be added to the center of the drums. Handcrafted on plywood, painted with anthracite-grey water-based color. The board comes complete with hanging hardware on the back. Please remember that colors may vary due to monitor settings. We give a lot of attention and care in each piece we create, to ensure you will love it. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to ask. The process for each handmade board using plywood is as followed: • First, the desired pattern is created on paper. This step is required to determine the right dimensions of the board and the number of nails needed. • The second step is to cut the board from a plywood sheet. • Once the board is cut, it is sanded using an electric sander, to make sure it feels as smooth as possible. • After sanding, acrylic water-based color is applied on the board. For a more natural look coloring may be skipped, but the board is always sealed with transparent varnish to protect it and make it last longer. • The board is lightly sanded once more, before the second layer of color or varnish is applied. • Once the board is ready, the paper pattern is used to trace the nail holes on the piece. • The board is carefully nailed using a hammer, making sure every nail is as straight as possible. • The next step is to wrap cotton thread/embroidery floss around the nail grid to bring the design to life!

This 12"x6" string art sign is hand-stained and put together just for you! Includes 5 clothespins for photos, cards, receipts, etc. This item is MADE TO ORDER. Which means it is made just for you! How to order: in the personalization, put what word you would like on the board. Example: DAD or PAPA. Include the string color choice. (Note: the size of this board best accommodates words that are 3-4 letters, but can do 5-6 letters. Anything over 6 letters and the letters will be quite small to fit in one line on the board.) Want it to say something else? Send me a message and we can discuss a custom order!
Whether you're celebrating a happy couple, your family gallery wall, or maybe a piece for your child's room or classroom, this string art name sign can be done in any name of your choice. This 12"H piece of (nearly 1" thick) solid wood can be cut to 24" or 36" (for longer names). You can choose several additional customizable options including just the random strung name, a name outlined with a second string color (as shown in several of the listing photos), and an added object (an Eiffel Tower and Butterfly were added in the listing photos). Piece comes complete with hanging hardware on the back. See stain samples in listing for examples. 1. Choose your size and customizable options from list. (If not listed, message me) 2. Choose your stain from the list. 3. Add the name desired and string color choice(s). I can do these in various writing styles, so if you have a style in mind let me know! Stain Options Include: Natural Puritan Pine (not pictured) Whitewash Vintage Aqua Weathered Oak Classic Gray Golden Oak Red Oak (not pictured) Early American Special Walnut Dark Walnut Jacobean Red Chestnut Sedona Red Barn Red (not pictured) Red Mahogany Ebony Worn Navy (not pictured) Working with natural wood also means no two pieces can ever be identical. There will be variations in grain pattern, there may be markings or other identifying characteristics unique to each piece such as knots, knot holes - all of which only add to charm of each piece. And each finished item may vary in appearance/color slightly. So you're getting a product that is both built to last and also unique. Typical turnaround time is a couple of weeks but during peak seasons (wedding/shower and holidays) it can take closer to 4-6 weeks. So estimated time is 3-4 weeks. Shipping is typically done with USPS Priority Mail within the USA. Depending on your US location, FedEx Home Delivery may also be an option utilized for shipping. You can check out many other photos of these custom pieces and other shop items in action over on my Instagram page @TulipGardenGifts or my Facebook page!

Hello & I hope you all had a wonderfully long & relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! Ours was fun, I made the stuffing muffins recipe I talked about last week, and whoah - they aren't as easy as they look! My first batch completely fell apart, but my second batch came out perfect. When Rachel Ray says "Moist, but not wet" in her stuffins recipe, she means wet enough for the bread to stick together. I was just too cautious! Oops... Still, whether muffin shape or not, they were delicious. Can't go wrong with soggy bread that's been re-baked. As weird as that sounds... Hard to go back to work today, am I right? Please, allow me to distract you with some bits of string art eye candy. I mean, why not? I've been super busy with orders lately, and a large portion of my orders have been custom requests for new designs, so I thought I'd take a minute to share. Collaborating one on one with people to achieve exactly what they have in mind is one of my favorite parts of this gig. First up, I'm mega impressed with the size of this one! This is a company logo, and our main issue was how we would ship something so big: They originally wanted it one solid piece, but shipping a piece of wood that is 3 feet tall by 6 feet wide proved to be extremely expensive! The workaround was to do 4 separate panels that would make shipping much, much smaller. Where there's a will there's a way, right? Up Next, a 3 piece peacock measuring in at 30" wide by 30" tall once it's hung up. Again, going with separate panels to make this ship-able! Forgive my photos, I wanted to snap a few shots in the light I had so I could get this piece to it's new home ASAP. I love it though! And then there's been a lot of new color combos to enjoy, people are really into this Market font - which is my favorite. Glad we agree! If your looking for any of these combos, details are in the shop links under the photos. Shop Link Shop Link Shop Link Shop Link A bright and colorful take on the Showcard Font: Showcard Link And a few Old English Monograms! I love the black and white with the copper here. Which, you may have noticed from our downstairs bathroom redo that I'm mega into that color scheme lately... heh Shop Monograms Old English Monograms Here's the first time I've gotten to use this multi-colored string, I really like this stuff.... but it's so hard to find! Multicolored Sea Snail And last but not least, a new color combo for our old deer friend, who I jokingly call Debby in our home. I know, he has antlers, making Debby a boy... but long story short - Debby the destroyer is a deer that visits our house daily and eats all the plants I buy. It's a sick relationship we have. Anyway.... When I have a free minute I may make us one of these, yellow is a big theme in our downstairs bathroom & I need some new art in there. Well hopefully I've distracted you from work today, being the first day back.. hope you're off soon! And if you have today off... you. are. so. lucky....! -Jesse Linkies: Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Subscribe & of course, Email me. Post a Comment
