Franky -n- Stein E-Pattern

I love a painted sampler although I’m not sure why.  It might go back to my days of doing needlework.  I love segmenting sections of a piece with a border pattern and then overlapping with the character elements.  I feel that a painted sampler makes for an interesting background especially if I want to use a stencil in the background.  The sampler background is a non-traditional background that I think works for this piece.  The black background which has been dry brushed with various paint colors softens the drama of the stark black with bits and pieces of the stenciled background peeking out at you.  This sampler showcases my new quirky whimsical Frankenstein “Franky” with lettering, which is very popular right now, and an adorable pumpkin.  I see happiness at every turn with this piece.

I used an 8”X8” square wood piece for this project; you could easily use any surface for this design.  I like flat surfaces to paint on, it makes them so easy to store during the off season.  I can see this design painted on a canvas, a wood canvas, or any 3-D piece.  Wouldn’t this be adorable painted on a tin surface?  HMMMMM…… how about on a tin tree?????  Why not change up your surfaces that would traditionally be used for Christmas.  You can easily wrap this design around any surface that you prefer.  I have included 18 photos in this pattern with many of them as step by step photos.  Enjoy painting this whimsical cutie.
