The Tray "Autumn Bouquet"

I was away for a while, then unwell with a cold... Today the weather was more suitable for making photos so I pull myself together and this is a result - finished tray.



I called it "Autumn Bouquet" because of rich colours and subtle hues of the season, that's why shading and craquelure on the tray are very delicate. It feels like autumn to me...

The tray "Lilac Haze"

This is my first work with a new tray blank. I like the blank, its simple shape may be decorated in any style. I played safe with the first one - a bunch of flowers is the best!

Tray "A Poppy Field "

You might remember that I promised more trays? This is one of them! I bought the blank (the proper tray actually) because it was discounted and scratched anyway! It was (still is!) the metal tray with rather basic fixing and a bleak image. It was ready for upcycling! Because of shiny metal finish I've choosen bright red colour to keep with the industrial feel.

Tray "Les Roses de Paris"

Last week I promised you more trays and here we are! This is a rather large and shallow tray and difficult to make proper pictures.

If you've seen this decoupage paper you know that a lot of painting around the motive was required because of the tray's size. I enjoyed making it and very pleased with the result. And more trays are "work in progress"!

Tray "The Glass of Red Wine"

Today this is a proper tray and it is made to order.

I was asked to make a tray as a present to a gentleman, that is why bottles of wine image (no flowers please!). I am sure you know that I am not very keen on orders (wrote about it many times!), but this one was a real pleasure to make! I enjoyed it so much that I even began to make more trays which you will see soon!

Tray "Fresh Green"

It's not just a tray, more like a cutlery tray, but I wanted it looks more decorative than utilitarian. That's why I've choosen these cool and fresh green and greyish colours and made very subtle craquelure. I am pretty happy with the result!

Tray "French Patisserie"

I made this tray a while ago and forgot to show it in a pre-Christmas hectic time...

Christmas Tray

I have just finished decorating this tray with very Christmassy pictures and festive colours.

Tray Summer Bouquet

I have just finished a new tray, which I named Summer Bouquet, because it reminds me of fresh colours of early summer with abundant peony blossom and delicate wisteria flowers.

Summer Tea

I once came across a wooden tray, in a good condition, but a bit tatty and definitely boring.

After some thoughts I decided to decorate it in summer herbs theme, here we are, having tea in the garden!

And the bottom is not boring either...

Kitchen Stuff

I am more garden person than kitchen person, but still I am doing some kitchen stuff from time to time. Here is a part of my kitchen collection: olive oil jug, memory board, country kitchen tray, peg rail, cutlery tray, utensil holder...






Anyone for a glass of wine - white, red?..
