Hi there, I'm Angela Wisler porcelain/acrylic artist and
bona fide cottage style junkie devotee.
A place to share creative decorating ideas and
detail the process I use for painting china and other pretties.
Porcelain painting is deemed by some, "a lost art".
I can tell you that around me in Maryland it's not lost, just scarce.
I wanted to learn the basics so, I traveled 160 miles round trip to Pennsylvania.
There I met with a lovely lady, who although retired from teaching
agreed to instruct me briefly, because I was 50 years younger than she.
She told me she got a kick out of someone, "young" wanting to learn.
China and porcelain are staples in romantic cottage and shabby chic décor.
I use the same techniques today that were used so long ago
to create those Limoges & Bavarian treasures.
It is a diverse and challenging art form.
I look forward to sharing my passion for it with you
and illustrating my creative process.
I adore cottage style decorating and hope this becomes a place for sharing, fellowship, and friendship with others who enjoy creating and decorating.
Thank you for stopping by.
I welcome your comments & leave you with this thought...

It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world."
