Merry Christmas & Happy New Year From Landscape Folkartist

For Christmas decor this year, I made a decorative bottle and a paper tree.
Paper-folded Christmas tree and paper-covered bottle.
I wrapped the neck of the bottle with ribbon and ric-rack, and threaded on two plastic bead bears.
I cut out snowmen from my Christmas wrapping paper, and decoupaged them to the bottom 2/3 of the bottle.
I folded 4 magazines and glued them together to make the paper tree.
I added a purple, glitter bow and gold, metal angel ornament as the tree topper.
I am thrilled with how my paper Christmas tree and my paper-covered bottle turned out.  I like that the middle area of the bottle is clear.
I also expanded my folk art painting by framing two of them in thrift store picture frames.  My daughter spray-painted the mats silver. Here i s one of the framed paintings.
"Little Yellow House & 4 Trees" by Georgette Johnson, self-taught folk artist.
I expanded further by doing a mixed media self-framed painting of a folkart hen.
Penne, mixed media folkart painting by Georgette, self-taught painter.
 I've been pretty busy this holiday season, as you can imagine, but my painting and crafting goes on.

Happy Holidays & Happy New Year

to everyone.

3 Folk Art House Paintings For Landscape Lovers



Blooms are free

on the tree,

and love is

in the air.







The grass is tall

along the wall.

The trees are quietly

turning.







I saw a scary house

one day,

and I did not know

what to say.
