Hand Painted Wood & Ceramic Gifts

Recently, I have not had time to make soap (but there will be new batches of cold process soap in a few months), but I have a collection of hand painted items that are now for sale.

Some wooden boxes, a wood tray, a few light wood coasters, many ceramic tile coasters, and a few ceramic signs. Everything has been painted with a medium known as “alcohol inks”. Many items also have designs cut out of vinyl and pasted on top of the painting, like stickers. Wood items have been sealed with an acrylic sealant. Ceramic items and all tiles (including the wood ones) have a layer of resin on top, to make them shiny, hard, smooth, and okay to set your drinks on. The resin says it is good for up to 110º C (230º F), so if you put something hotter on it, it may stick a little bit, or make a bit of an indent in the resin.  Most of the items can be personalized. Enjoy!

This set of 4 coasters is all resin, so it is light and flexible, made in an ocean wave pattern. Photo shows all sides.

Next are rectangular ceramic signs, about a foot long and 2 inches tall. Great for a house, room, or desk. Have sturdy permanent double stick tape on the back.

I can also add vinyl sayings and images to 100% cotton “flour sack kitchen towels” (it’s a thin white material, good for kitchen clean up or making into a hair covering or mask). Here are some examples.

These are all of the ceramic tiles I have available and ready for shipping. All have a cork backing and are 4″ x 4″.

These are light wooden tiles. Thin, and not as nice as the ceramic ones, but still fun, and can be placed in a card. All have a cork backing. These are supposedly 4″x4″, but are not cut perfectly, so are slightly smaller.

Finally, these are the large ceramic tiles I have available. They are 6″x6″ – perfect size for a trivet (for items up to 110ºC) or for house signs. If you want to use it as a trivet, I can back it with cork. If you want it as a sign, I can put the strong, permanent, double sided tape on the back.

 

Mother’s Day Gift Baskets

Mother’s Day is coming up in May, so consider treating her to a large basket of Ciggy’s Soaps. The ones below are available as is, or I can customize them, adding different soaps, homemade lotion bars, home made lip balms, chocolates (not made by me, but add a sweet treat), and hand written cards in calligraphy with stamp embossing, for your own personal message.
