Some Unique Treasures From Rhonda's Rose Cottage Designs !!!!!!!!

Here  are some pictures of a clock I painted a castle on it . It is painted on a mache' box lid ! I used the bottom of the box for a cake I made . I made the clock to look old  and cracked & I liked the way it turned out. I love making something out of nothing.
     Next group of pics are my hand painted in acrylics by me Rhonda Motteberg 2011 ,rose pictures.The colors are the softest! I just had to throw in some rose clips I made. Oh the paper roses my favorite! I just have to say, " Thank You God for letting them bloom in my hands !" What fun they are to make ! Even more fun to look at. Someday  I'll take you on a tour of everywhere I clip these!
        Next is my BIG FAKE WEDDING CAKE ! Wouldn't it be a fun  to have as a wedding cake for  a couple who renewed their vowes after say 25 or 30 years together! To me  this cake resembles a life of ups & downs ,good times & bad . The slips & slides but still holding together ,sometimes barely ! A long marraige is like that .Hopefully it still looks good on the outside . Hopefully sweet  & fresh on the inside. I can see the bride dressed like a dream in cream. I think her daughters should be her brides mates. Yes, I can see this , Beautiful ! I'll have to post pics of the little church a block from my house that the couple would marry in.  Oh that Vince Gil song , " Look at Us " , that should be their song ! Ok ..... I ramble.  Any way use your imagination ! 
        I had fun creating these unique treasures I hope you have fun to look at them.  Most will  listed on Ebay or my website http://www.rhondasrosecottagedesigns.com/ soon !

He's a tub but still my daughter Lily manages to hold him like a little baby . He's a load  and the two of them are a hand full but what better to have your hands full of than love .

Hello Friends!

Hello Friends,

 I have a few pics of 2 new signs I made. Dave bought me the new Victoria magazine - GARDENS of BLISS and page 78 was the inspiration for the Gather Ye Roses sign and Brocante  is a French type of flea market. Nice gold accents grace each sign. They will be listed on my website soon.
