Folk Art can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. The few that I've done were extremely easy as I used stencils for the most part and then added some shading as with any Tole Painting project. It is not my most well known craft and so I will admitt the shading leaves a bit to be desired but it is still fun and this is another craft which can be done on almost any surface. Also a good way to recycle the otherwise throw-away items like for instance the tea kettle that lost it's handle and had a hole in the bottom. :) No good to use for it's intended purpose after that, ha? The chair, although it was not broken, had so many gashes and such in it that it was not pleasant to look at so this added a bit of charm. Both pieces were sold at flea markets and brought more than I thought they would. I am now working on my Tole Painting skills because I really did have some fun with these items. I'll throw up some more pics as soon as I have others done.
