Irish Plaquette

I wanted to design some plaquettes that were typically Irish and I chose this Guinness theme as my first.  I thought it would be nice to start with some old Dublin scenes which will have a special appeal to Irish people living away from home and visitors to Ireland who may wish to bring something handmade of Ireland home with them.  This Guinness plaquette is now in an Irish home in France.

Birds on a Branch Vintage Style Plaquette

I love bird designs especially vintage style bird designs so I couldn't resist making this lovely plaquette which I am so tempted to keep for myself.  The pink base is a mix of red, white and cream paint that I mixed up myself to create this great colour.  Of course, I didn't write down the amounts so it will be a challenge trying to make the same colour again!  I think the pink is a great match and at the same time, contrast to the blue and I will definitely reuse this design - maybe next time I will try it with an orange background.  I hope you enjoyed my post, I'd love to hear what you think or answer any questions, so don't forget to comment below or on my Facebook page.

Multi Frame Plaquette

This is one of my larger plaquettes for hanging several different sized photos.  I painted this one in pale grey with a darker grey crackle finished edge as usual using my own mix chalk paint.  Pastel hearts and sparkle finish completed the look along with some varying shaped frames.  It is making a long journey at the end of the week, all the way from Dublin to it's new home in Arizona.

Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette

My new design Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette went down a treat with it's new owner and resulted in an abundance of requests for the same style so I will be a busy bee for the next while making sure I get all my orders completed in time while at the same time keeping up with the furniture upstyling taking place in my small studio!!  I can barely fit myself in at the moment due to the amount of work going on - I need to think about a bigger space soon!

Here's some pics of the Vintage Roses Plaquette which can be used for hanging a favourite photo using the mini peg which is attached to the ribbon within the frame.  This time, I went for a vertical design and included the person's name inside the frame as an added touch.  She loved it and I am happy to say there will be more similar to this in the near future.  Thanks for dropping by, don't forget to call again soon to see what's happening at Funky-Junk.

Salle de Bain Plaquette

Another bathroom plaquette just completed, I love these small sized plaquettes which are perfect in kitchen's and bathrooms.  This one is painted with dark grey chalk paint, has a simple stencil, some French writing and light distressing and is finished off with white cord.  I'm currently putting the final touches on another 'Salle de Bain' plaquette which I will post soon.
