Rustic Winter Crafts

[atotton]

I build my own winter themed crafts and some furniture for the house. They are all made from barn boards from my grandmother's old fallen down cattle barn. I also do a lot of crafts using rusty barbed wire. I go to some craft sales mostly in the summer, and do fairly well.

I can imagine your designs are very popular at the sales. Can you show us more designs with the barbed wire? I really liked that one.

 

[REO]

Those are really cool!!

 

[atotton]

Thanks.

I unfortunately don't have pictures of the other things I made of barbed wire, when I get more things made I will post a new thread of them all.

Love the Barbed Wire Bug!

Here is something I whipped up tonight, it is not barbed wire, it is some old electric stuff that rusted.

You are so clever with your folk art, I would love to see more of your barbed wire artistry.

I love this quote!!

I second this!!! LOL!! When I went out to do chores this morning I kept thinking about that Dragon Fly and where he would look nice on my barn! LOL!

I made my mom 2 for her birthday and she put them on a fence behind her lilies.

Here is a wire attempt at a horse head.

Oh, I do love that horse head. Wish we lived closer so I could "put in an order". I do hope you do craft shows in your area. They would be top sellers.
