Welcome to BEADLBRAIN'S

OOAK (one of a kind)
It's a great feeling to know you are the only one in the whole wide world who will ever own one just like it!

This home page tells a little about the artist and the types of work you'll find by navigating to the pages at left.
Below are just a few examples of Welcome, wall decor and more about recent custom orders.
You'll also find other items of interest like Christmas wreaths and hand crafted beads and misc.

........

All slates come with hangers.  I use solid copper wire, rope/hemp, leather strap etc. to match the theme or design on the slate.

Any slate is adaptable to what you'd like;  this is an example  the first slate at top was recently custom ordered on a larger slate and the name added at the bottom.
The customer also wanted a dragonfly and butterfly. It has a double, hand braided rope hanger.

Another example of a popular slate is this bird house w/bee hive.
this is a photo of the slate w/more of a fall or winter feel, I could even add snow and a few larger snowflakes.
For spring with the same design, I add a little more green foilage and maybe a few tiny daisies.
The wording on this one is usually, BLESS OUR NEST w/the bumble bee trail (dotted lines) for the word BLESS., and OUR NEST trails down the right side.
For indoors or out, the words can be changed ex; BLESS MY KITCHEN,
or Just a last name anything you like.
I have this in my kitchen w/bless our nest (It matches our decor of fruits and green, red, mustard plaid)
This makes a very nice gift.

NEW! Very Unique! Birthday cards hand painted on antique slates.
These can be given as an everlasting gift. Hung on childs bedroom wall afterwards to remind them of the special occasion. My best friend started this for her grandson, his bedroom decor is frogs and I painted a frog on a lilly pad prices start $15


A custom order recently, was that ordered by fellow co-workers for a man, who's long time companion and duck hunting buddy (his black lab) was getting along in years and had not long to go.
They asked me to paint a black lab for him.
I really enjoyed doing this peice, and painted a country scene with the dog (up close) coming out of water with the duck in his mouth. They said he loved it!

I enjoy painting just about anything. When just painting for fun, I tend to do rustic, country, primitive, florals, scenery, landscapes and old rustic cabins and woods.
But I also love doing custom orders. From Retro to modern art/Country rustic to beach/sea scapes and any sports related plaques.  I love the challenge!

I've done just about every craft from sculpting, knitting/crochet, sewing, painting to even
paper making, just to name a few!
My handmade /Painted hangtags are a popular item.
I paint them with just about anything, deers, santa's, raggedy, dolls, gingerbread men, amish kids, custom orders etc..or plain aged.
Used on gifts for holidays,
or artists use them as hang tags for items for sale. Email  orders early.
 Discount for larger orders!
EMAIL ME  these can take up to a few weeks to finish.

I've been crafting since about age 5 when I made my own Barbie clothes from old material my Mom and neighbors would give me. Then around age 6 an elderly neighbor taught me to crochet and I was "hooked"

I"m also into bead making, and working with polymer clay.
My beads are pretty popular for jewelry artists.
Occasionally when I make a bead set, I just get that urge to make something out of it. So on the left you'll find the links to my beads page and a jewelry page.
A set made w/a Rose pendant/wire wrapped
in pearls and pink E beads.

One item that is also very popular is my Inuyasha
Anime cosplay calming sit Prayer Fang
necklace. (Now that's a mouthful!)  You'll find this on the Jewelry Page
 or CLICK HERE  to go to the Jewelry pages
