| Hi! My name is Marlynne Joy Snare and I'm a Folk Artist. At 76 yrs. old and a great-grandmother I still like to create art and have fun! As you can tell red is my very favorite color and add yellow to it and I'm off an runnin! This is my first blog I started 3 yrs. ago to satisfy the Folk Art side of my personality. Then a year ago I started the "My Precious Cottage" blog at wwwpreciouscottage.blogspot.com to share my love of the Victorian Style. I love to create with paint, wood, fabric and discarded materials. |
 |
| This last year I decided to move my art table into the sunny sewing,T.V. room where it was inviting to create. I just love it! |
 |
| This is the other side of the room where I can use the wall for a small art gallery. as you can see great-grandson spends a great deal of time in here too!.The red and yellow and green quilt on th chair back was made for me for Christmas this year by good friend Karen. The red & white basket quilt on the wall is an antique quilt from a former neighbor. |
 | |
| This shows the whole room in all it's glory! I made the banners special for this Grow Your Blog Party! I like them so they will stay . The string of fabric hearts in the window and the "Be My Valentine" banner in the other window are new creations too! |
 |
| I made this heart pillow last year and have had it in my chair every since. |
 |
| My sister and I had our monthly outing last Tuesday and these were two of my purchases. We love to go to thrift stores and Antique Malls. Now to decide how to use them to best advantage. |
 |
| I made this Studio Sign and fabric flowers several years ago for outside my Studio #1 door. |
 |
| As you can see this Studio is Full to Overflowing with Folk Art and Collections. I still love to go in and look just not stay in there to create! |
 |
| I'm very fond of painting Folk Art Town Scenes and writing little stories that tells about them. |
 |
| Dollhouses are every where! I have 8 of them, and have made a lot of the furniture and furnishings. And one dollhouse from scratch. I have a friend who has offered me 2 more houses. I'm thinking on it but when am I going to have to stop? Hope you enjoyed your visit and will come back! I anxious to visit your blogs and will be sending comments your way. Happy Blogging! |
