Years ago, I painted my cabinet doors white and then painted ivy on them as if it were vining around the room. Of course the doors had to be painted too. Inside of the cupboards are carnations and ribbons framing family recipes.

Then I saw fabric microwave bowls on the board here. Now I have table runners and many fabric microwave bowls to match my cupboards. My husband loves the bowls and uses them all the time.

So pretty! You are very talented. I have been off the board the past couple of weeks so I missed the fabric microwave bowls. Will have to check it out. Love your painted ivy, it looks so real.

swesome! I hadn't thought of stencilling in years - your set looks great.

lovely

How lovely!!! :D

Very pretty! The leaves look so real.

Cool painting and the runner is beautiful!

:thumbup: :thumbup: I AM SO JEALOUS OF THE TALENTED PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD!! Beautiful work :)

What is funny is that I didn't know how to paint at that time. I didn't do strokes, I sort of smushed (technical term) the paint into the leaves. I did put an outline for every leaf. It would look so different if I did it now. It is a cheerful kitchen with the white and the painting.

very pretty

Your bowl seems to be more rounded and bowl shape than the one I made. Can you tute us on how your got your bowl to look so much like one? If you had not said so, I would have thought it was a piece of china.

Deb, Deb, Deb...you never cease to amaze me!!
I think I need a side view of that bowl! It looks real!
Your kitchen looks like a fun place to be! The ivies...WOW!

How cool, life's too short not to have fun. :)

That is beautiful

Very pretty!!

NICE!
