New Folk Art on TDIPT Mercantile

TDIPT Mercantile is bursting with the spirit of Fall and Halloween this month!
I hope you will take a moment to stop by my page on the Mercantile. I am offering some new pieces in my "Cupboard Folk" series, wonderful little witches, and girls in their vintage Halloween Costumes.



Also some fun Halloween Rosettes with sayings, and a fun set of Vintage Halloween Cat Heads and Letters spelling "Boo".

There is so much to see from all the TDIPT artists, get there before all the goods are gone.

Thanks from the Dog and Me.

New Blog Banners

Is it time to freshen up your blog, or decorate for the upcoming season? I just remodeled this blog, and it reminded me that it was time to make some new Blog Banners to offer on my website, Big Brown Dog Graphics. Four new banners are available now, with more to come shortly. Here's a sample:



You can see them all on my website.
Banners are $8.00 each, which includes customizing, with your name and Blog tagline. Just email me to purchase.

Custom banners are also available.

Thanks for stopping by, from the Dog and me.

New Work on TDIPT Mercantile Tonight

Tonight is my night to update on TDIPT Mercantile, and it's been fun working with the "Christmas in July" theme.


This Santa is from my "Cupboard Folk" series. All are based on my love of antique illustrations and photos, and are hand cut, colored and aged with care.

You'll also find Angel Girls, a trio of Gentleman Bears, and some charming children there.

The Dog and I would love to have you drop in.

I think you might find this as enchanting as I did. If you do, you'll also enjoy reading the blog written by Rima Staines. It follows the travels of two young Scottish artists, who live on the road in Great Britain, like modern day gypsies. She is an amazing painter and illustrator, and you willbe charmed by her work.
