A Majestic Piece of Pallet Art

It's been a little while since my last post.

Summer.

Kids home from school.

Summer vacations.

Pool time.

I haven't made time for posting lately.

Life has been a little crazy.

Not that I haven't been making Pallet stuff.

I have.

2 weeks ago I had a huge batch of custom orders

which of course I didn't get around to taking pictures of.

But they were very custom.

Names and dates.

Personal sayings. etc.

But before I get to one I did just 'cause I wanted to,

I would like to share my favorite little piece of heaven.

It's my families Ranch purchased by my great grandparents years and years ago

so the family had a place to gather for Family Reunions.

It's been a huge blessing for our family.

Some of my fondest and funnest memories were created in this little valley

that doesn't get cell reception.  

You have to turn on a generator for electricity.

The water comes from a spring in the mountain.

A place where kids run free.

Parents sit and visit.

Teenagers take hikes around the mountains.

And everyone stays up super late playing card games and reminiscing.

We got to spend a week there again this summer.

It was Heavenly!

Since I got to spend so much time in the great outdoors,

I had to do a deer piece of pallet art.

We actually saw several of these majestic creatures as we

roamed around the mountains.

It took me a little while to find the perfect image.

This is the one I settled on.

I did a quick vinegar/steel wool wash on the pallet wood after screwing them together.

Then painted the image using a creamy white.

A bit of hanging hardware and it's ready for a Man Cave.

Or mountain cabin.

Maybe even a living room.

I love how it turned out.

Hopefully I will get some good feedback from the store, 

and it will sell quickly.

So nice when that happens!

Here it is over at Twigs and Twine.

Majestic.

I love it!
