Oil on Canvas Panel (Museum Grade) 6x6 Purchase Information These wooden spools belonged to my mom. I was surprised she still had some in her old sewing cabinet by her Singer. I think they are beautiful--much more charming than the hideous, cheap spools that are now sold. I also loved the price etched into one of them: 60 cents for 275 yards. Wow, those were the days! www.kristinekainer.com www.kristinekainer.blogspot.com

I really enjoy reflections so I'm glad I now have some glass on the shelf to pull out when needed. There is ALWAYS something new and exciting to explore in art! $65.00 free shipping in US

6x6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord Click HERE to view my blog. I was at JoAnne's the other day looking for fabric and found some beautiful threads. This is one of them and it was fun to paint. I'll be painting thread again. I haven't worked up enough nerve to paint the fabric yet. There are patterns involved! Yikes! On another note, please take a look at Michael Chamberlain's blog. He is VERY talented and has just begun daily painting. It will be a treat for you! Click HERE. $65.00 free shipping in US

Oil on canvas panel, 6x6-- View eBay Auction (Bids start at $99) This is one creative outlet I haven't been able to conquer--sewing. I even have a sewing machine (a gift from Mom ten years ago) and still can't figure out how to deal with a bobbin. I can attach buttons, but have resorted to using a stapler for fallen hemlines.
