Wow, I can’t believe it has been 23 years since I opened The Whistling Elk. Amazing how time flies.
Over the years I have had so many beautiful items come and go from the shop…it has been a pleasure to own so many items even if only for a short time!!!
For our Sale this year we are running discounts from 10% off all the way up to 75% off! Come take home a little piece of The Whistling Elk – the sale runs thru August 25th. Thanks for your business over the last 23 years!!!
Last night we had Part One of our Furniture Paint Workshop with Paint Couture paints, glazes and finishes. It’s always such fun to see what will be created during the evening!!
These pretty little samples were created with lots of product…the top sample is Barbados Blue under Italian Ivory – distressed – then glazed with brilliant white. Then a tiny bit of verde glaze was added into the crevices – very subtle.
The bottom sample is Australian Amber under Italian Ivory and distressed. Then it was glazed with copperhead..after some dry time we highlighted certain areas with French gilding wax. This sample was finished with Satin Topcoat for a nice sheen.
Tonight we are having Part Two of the Workshop…stay tuned! We will be doing some washes, gilding and stenciling. Oooh la la.
If you are considering attending a workshop the next set of two classes will be Sept 11 & 12…don’t forget to call and register!

Our collection of exquisite, handcrafted, home wall décor just arrived! They are amazing and I love mixing them into wall collages. They will look like they have been in your family for generations!
These beautiful prints are created by one of the last remaining master artisans in the United States – individually hand-made, antique reproduction art! Bellisimo!!!
All of this 18th and 19th century, English and European, wall decor artwork is made to order by a master craftsman, with decades of skill and experience in the field of antique art reproduction and restoration. These prints are NOT assembled on a line run by machines – they are masterfully set in museum standard, hand-nailed and distressed, solid wood frames.
So each reproduction floral, architectural, or landscape, pastoral lithograph is individually cut, and hand-aged, to give it the look and feel of an original piece of antique framed art.
So the gallery shows you a sample….we are actually expecting some more in the fall. But now that we have these we are going to include them in our ART SALE…at 20% off.
