HIGH QUALITY WOOD ITEMS FOR ROSEMAL PAINTERS AND FOLK ARTISTS
By Bill Keller
|
WELCOME ?
Hello there. Thanks for looking in on me. I've been making wood items
for folk artists off and on over 20 years. The past few years I have
concentrated on unfinished wood items for rosemal painters. I'm retired
now, so now my wife paints and I make the wood for her, other members
of Western Rosemalers Association, and any folk artist who needs high
quality wood items on which to paint. See some of my wood for sale at the
Tine' page or trunk & box page. Wood pieces decorated with Rosemal
painting can be seen on the Western Rosemalers Association page.
We come from a small town called Ione in the far North East corner of
Washington State, in Pend Oreille County. Mountain country about 85
miles North of Spokane. Take a look::

WHAT IS ROSEMAL PAINTING ?
Rosemal painting (Rose painting) is a folk art originally from Norway and also from Sweden and other
Scandinavian countries. It was done to decorate buildings, furniture and household items.
rosemal painting is a beautiful and a very teachable art form. You can learn even if you have never
done any sort of art or drawing. Go to the Western Rosemalers Association page and find links to
teachers and other organizations. Rosemal artists are friendly and helpful, and would love to teach you.
CHECK BACK OFTEN AND LET ME HEAR FROM YOU. I LOVE TO GET E-MAILS FROM OTHER WOOD WORKERS AND
CRAFTSPEOPLE OF ALL KINDS.
