Flowers in the Cream Can.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This is one of my favorite watercolor paintings. The same subject can be seen here, but as an ink drawing instead.
The visual texture seen in the black cream can was from bits of grass that I brushed across the still-wet paint. I painted this sitting on the grass in the front yard.
Materials: Watercolor on heavy paper
Size: approx. 22" X 40"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat; let me chose print number from series
Price: $65
Labels: floral, mom, nature, watercolor

Purse: Striped Ties and Corduroy.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This fun-colored purse -- light blue! lime green! chocolate brown! -- is made from a favorite pair of corduroy pants that, happily, became too big for me. I loved the material though, a delicate blue with washed streaks of warm cream fading through. I couldn't let the material go to waste, so I decided to resurrect part of it for a purse.
Front: The front of the purse shows off the vintage necktie I've used for both the closure strap (velcro closure) and the purse strap. There is also the signature LP (Lone Prairie) leather tag. [view front of purse].
Back: The back of the purse [view back of purse] uses the front five-pocket layout from the pants. I've also created a larger pocket behind the entire section using a lime-green old cloth napkin. There is also an area for a pen to be attached where the pocket has been left slightly open.
Inside: The inside of the purse is lined with a pale blue shimmery material with a woven wave pattern. A pocket section, divided into two convenient pockets, lines the back of the inside of the purse, edged with contrasting chocolate brown antique seam facing and lime-green material. [view inside]
Detailing: The purse has a number of hand-stitched detailing, from the embroidered blanket-stitched edging on the purse strap ends, to the entire lining being hand-sewn into place. [view detail]
This purse is completely unique, made without a pattern, never to be exactly recreated in either fabric or stitching. It is fully hand-made. By me.
Materials: Corduroy, cotton, satin-like material, linen, leather, necktie.
Size: roughly 10.5" high, 11" wide, 3.5" deep; Shoulder strap 10.5" from shoulder to purse
Other: Spot wash. Do not machine wash.
Price: $45
Labels: accesories, gift, mom, purse

This soft and fun purse is made out of fleece fabric with satin and and other ribbon accents. In colors of wheat, yellow, and rich red, this little tote is not only sturdy, but heavily detailed with accents and linings sewn by hand.
Both the front and back designs are similar, featuring a handy pocket that is perfect for a cell phone or any other item you want to access quickly. Satin and tulle ribbon, in pale yellow and cream, border the top of this pocket with a raw, frayed edge peaking from behind. The edge of the pocket is lined with decorative elements, including hand-stitched flowers. [view the front of the purse | view the back of the purse | view detail]

Porcelain piggy bank.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This porcelain piggy bank was inked free-hand with no pattern, then hand-painted with oil paints.
A plastic stopper on the underside allows you to remove your money without destroying a perfectly good pig.
Design work is original and unique, hand signed on the bottom.
This pig is small, about 4" X 3" X 3", and the only one of its kind! (He, uh, also comes with a few quarters inside. Quarters do not come out the bottom hole.)
See details: detail 1, detail 2, detail3.
Price: $95
Labels: animals, floral, gift, mom, whimsical

Purse: Stripe the First
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This soft and fun purse is made out of fleece fabric with satin and grosgrain ribbon accents. There's a little bit of linen in the eyes, too.
This is Stripe, so named for the stripe down his back, which is, of course, seen on the back of the purse.
Free-form sewing on the handle, Stripe, and body of the purse make contrasting and matching thread serve as more than mere construction, but much the same way lines in a drawing sketch out a subject.
Stripe's mouth is perfect for holding a cell phone or pack of tissues. Stripe's front is lightly padded to give his body a little...body. His lower lip is matching satin ribbon hand-stitched in place. The inside of the purse is lined with red cotton and has a double-layer open pocket attached to the back wall of the interior.
This purse is completely unique, made without a pattern, never to be exactly recreated in either fabric or stitching. It is fully hand-made. By me.
