Green Forest, AR, March 01, 2007 --(
PR.com)-- At last, anyone can have a green (painted) thumb. Artist and author Lin Wellford has crafted a career out of turning ordinary rocks into amazing three-dimensional art of all kinds. Now her newest book, Painted Garden Art Anyone Can Do, is sure to inspire homeowners everywhere to turn their landscaping into a work of art. It features ten projects, many using inexpensive pre-cast cement landscaping elements, to transform any outdoor area without costing a fortune.
Imagine a pathway of stepping stones painted to look like oversized blossoms or vibrant butterflies. Flowerbeds edged with whimsical caterpillars, and borders painted to look like actual flowers, add year-round color that will stand the test of time. Her design for a Faux Fish Pond looks so real you might expect the goldfish to start swimming! And a life-sized Garden Gator project will stop passers-by in their tracks. Full size patterns and more than 300 full color photos ensure satisfying results, even for people who have never picked up a brush before. These projects are ideal for display in public places like playgrounds and parks. Many would be excellent as family projects or for youth and Scouting groups. Painted Garden Art Anyone Can Do is the second title from ArtStone Press and will be available May 1 directly from the author as well as via Amazon or by special order through any bookseller.
