Click to Enlarge
Lovely paper mache (papier mache) treasure or trinket box with latch. Finished in a mint green color with folk art tole bird and flower designs in red and blue. Hand painted by my Mom, Grammy BJ. Measures approximately 6" long x 4" wide x 3½" high. Lid is hinged and there is a small latch in the front. Signed by the artist on the bottom, this is a one-of-a-kind item. (note: the chalkware is not included, but it does hold the box open quite nicely, doesn't it???)
Be sure to check out the other handpainted items I have for sale, most handpainted by Grammy BJ. There are decorative birdhouses, miniature paintings (ACEO's) and some lovely decorated boxes.
Meet the Artist:
My Mom (BJ or Grammy BJ) is a talented artist and has won numerous awards and ribbons for her artwork. Much of her work is Folk Art, Tole painting, Rosemaling, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Primitive Folk painting. She's 89 and going strong... with a real passion for her art.
Mom broke her hip on Valentine's Day 2008. Painting was the last thing on her mind for a while, but she's back on her feet and doing terrific. I hope you enjoy her art as much as I do.
