Part of the 'Milner Craft' series
In 'The Painted Garden', Kate Coombe has created a beautiful range of unique folk art designs for painting objects in and around the garden, ranging from ceramic pots and bird feeders to gardening tools and wheelbarrows. The designs include rustic landscapes, floral garden scenes, wreaths, swags, posies and arabesques.
There are chimes to paint, a watering can, a chair and matching tablecloth, a striking umbrella stand from an old milk can, gardening gloves and other implements. Kate tells you how to paint your own charming wooden bird house complete with steeple, a gardening apron and even a gumboot holder.
Patterns are provided for each of the designs and there are step-by-step instructions and photographs so that you can create you own painted garden with ease.
