GENISE PARK DESIGNS

I love to design and create colorful hand woven accessories for the home as well as scarves and shawls for the body. Each piece is uniquely different even though there may be more than one of each item. Often times I will hand dye a yarn to get the perfect color I need to add excitement to a piece. Using only the highest quality yarns to ensure that my creations are of the highest standard. Nature is my inspiration for all my weavings, knitting and fine art.

I learned how to sew when I was five years old from grandma and haven’t stopped since. It is so rewarding to create using the sewing machine and I have so much fun.  I  am passionate about making  quilts combining different colors using vibrant Kaffe Fasset fabrics or Reproduction Fabrics from various time periods.  I love to experiment with different patterns and colors, seeing what happens on small and large scale. All fabrics are 100% cotton as is the quilting thread. Also, I used 80% cotton/20% polyester Warm N Natural batting in the middle. I wash all of my quilts before shipping, giving it a slightly puckered vintage look, while also softening the fabrics.

OLD BARN RESCUE COMPANY

elephants w_child'sname&dateOld Barn Rescue Company creates a wide variety of  ”wall art” by reusing vintage materials and vinyl graphics with our own unique flair.

Our business venture began in the fall of 2002 when my dad was tearing down the barn from our childhood farm.  With the encouragement of my friend and calligraphy artist, Adonna, we saved some of the beautifully weathered wood and began creating.   We soon found ourselves reusing all kinds of vintage materials to make whimsical home décor.  Right from the start, we added personality with words – initially using old scrabble tiles. Adonna also began hand-painting quotes and words on many of our items.  We soon found her lettering and our phrases in high demand.  We explored different options, but knew we could not  mass-produce our truly vintage materials and did not want that compromised.

family name est dateIn the fall of 2008, our exploration led us to vinyl wall graphics.  We decided to take the plunge and formed our new Wall Graphics Division.  We are thrilled to be able to offer Adonna’s beautiful hand-lettering with such ease, versatility, and affordability.

before you were bornYou can now choose elegant hand-lettering in vinyl directly for your walls or on recycled wood, depending on your preference or budget needs.  This second option is great for ready-to-go gifts, for those who have textured walls, and those who value the beauty of old materials.

Wallstory Murals is an online Do it yourself children’s mural store with fun and easy DIY mural designs you can paint yourself.

I believe everyone has an element of natural creativity in them and with these Paint by Number mural designs you can ‘unleash’ that creativity and paint your child a mural that will not only thrill your child but you’ll get to bask in the admiration of your friends and family (Admit it we all like to show off a bit now an then). It really is child’s play to paint these murals. If you can color in a coloring book then you can paint one of my murals. The kits come with the pattern, transfer paper, a color guide and instructions.

We’re all tightening our belts at the moment, so every saving we can make counts for a lot. By decorating or revamping your child’s room yourself you can make a huge difference without breaking the bank. If the design or theme that you’re looking for isn’t in my selection, then chat to me about a custom design. I love designing it’s such fun! So email me and lets chat (don’t worry, there’s absolutely no obligation).
