A Word From Donna Dewberry—
Paint Unique Frames For Your Grandchildren’s Photos!
There is nothing like a treasured grandchild to make you want to take
lots of photographs. And then you want to frame them. My grandson. Christian,
was the inspiration for designing this photo frame grouping. / think his little
face looks so precious wreathed in a garland of flowers or peeking out from
behind a birdhouse. These frames are easy to cut from pine and fun to paint.
My grandson. Christian, was bom on my birthday. It is so exciting to
be a grandmother, even more fun than / could ever haw imagined. My husband
says if / pull out those baby pictures just one more time, he's going to take
them away. / never fully understood the excitement about grandchildren until /
had one of my own. He just seems to light up the room when he comes in. His
little smile, his giggle just makes me stop whatever I'm doing and sit with him.
if only for a few minutes. / guess this is one of those hidden blessings ire enjoy
from haring our own children. I love and enjoy all of my children, but a grand-
child seems to have a special place in my heart. / am the mother of seven, so
that means that the possibilities of more grandchildren are great. I will have even more pictures Io show and frame.
/ am a native Floridian and still reside in Florida which means that all my grandchildren will want lo come to
Grandma's house because I live close to Disney World. I think this plan is working out pretty well so far. don't your I
can teach them all to paint unlike my children who don 't seem to have as much patience with me as my grandson
does. My husband says he's going to leach them how to basecoat and seal my projects. He has also informed me that I
am spoiling my grandson (like he's not?) and that my daughter may have to put her foot down if I'm not careful. You
see. no mailer how I try. I just always gel back to talking about grandchildren. 1 hope you can understand and be
patient with me as i go through this period.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to all of you
who cut out your own wood pieces. I
admire you and your talent, but most of
all. the hard work it takes to cur nut the
pieces. I enjoy being аЫе to cut out my
own pieces, but many times I am unable
to for one reason or another. It seems to
be much more enjoyable to do decora-
tive painting on the pieces I cut out
myself. There is something to be said for
not only embellishing a piece but also
being able to create that piece, and the
satisfaction that comes from doing so. I
hope the designs in (his book will bring
you some pleasure and that, as you cut
these out, you will think about me. I
would really like to be there with you at
the saw.
Thank You
I would like to thank Jeff and
Sherry Foster and their staff at Cabin
Crafters for all their hard work. It took a
lot of time and effort to get all these
pieces cut and delivered for this book.
They did a great job (as usual), and the
pieces turned out really well, despite my
messy drawings. Sometimes I forget the
behind-the-scenes people but, believe
me, these books would not be possible
without their involvement. Thank you!

The One Stroke Technique
How to Double Load
Most designs are painted with a fiat brush that has been
double loaded with paint. With a double loaded brush, you can
paint many designs with one or two strokes.
To double load, dampen brush, dip one side of the chisel
edge of brush in one color. Dip the other side in the other color.
The colors should form triangles on the brush and meet in the
middle. On your palette, stroke the bnish back and forth to dis-
perse the paint colors on the bnish. The colors will meet in the
center and the paint will fill two thirds of the brush.
When you need mac paint, pick up each color and paint,
do not blend on tire palette. Don’t rinse the brush in water before
reloading. Adding water tends to muddy up the paint. Roaring
Medium added to the brush works great to help keep paint from
drying out Pick up more paint with almost every stroke.
Dip one side of the chisel edge of dampened
brush into one color.
Dip other side into second color. Colors should
fonn triangles on the brush and meet in the
middle.
Stroke brush to blend colors where they meet.
How to Use One Stroke" Brushes
The use of One Stroke"’ Brushes is essential in achieving
the One Stroke technique. They have been designed especially
for this type of strokework. Following is a brief explanation for
the use and/or purpose of each brush.
Scruffy Brushes (Regular & Mini)
I originally created my own scruffy brush by shaping the
bristles of an old worn brush into the shape of an oval, after care-
fully cutting them to a uniform length of about 1/2". The scruffy
brush that I have created is now ready to be used straight out of
the packaging. All you have to do Is "fluff the scruff," as we say.
Remove the brush from the packaging and form the natural bris-
tles Into a fan shape by gently pulling on them, then twist the
bristles in the palm of your hand until you have shaped the brush
into the fan shape. Now you are ready to pounce into paint and
begin.
When fluffed, the scruffy brush is used for painting mosses,
wisteria, lilacs, certain hair and fur, faux finishing, and shading
textures. This brush Is not used with water. However, you do
have to dampen the brush, then dry It out thoroughly before
painting, paying special attention to removing all excess water
from the ferrule. When cleaning this brush, pounce the bristles in
the brush basin rather than raking them so you will not break the
bristles, as they are natural.
Flat Brushes
These come in six sizes: #2, #6. #8, #10. #12. and 3/4".
The One Stroke Technique requires the use of these flat brushes.
They are designed with longer bristles and less thickness in the
body of the brush which allows foe a much sharper chisel edge.
As you will see. a sharp chisel edge is essential to the technique
since most of the strokes begin and end on the chisel edge of the
brush.
These brushes are ready to use from the package. Only a
small amount of water Is used. Simply dampen the bristles In
water and dry them with a paper towel before beginning. When
cleaning these brushes, you may rake them in the bottom of the
brush basin, as the bristles are not natural and therefore do not
have as much tendency to break, but be gentle.
A good tip to remember is that everyone’s comfort zone
varies, and as one painter is comfortable using a size #10, another
painter may be just as comfortable with size 3/4". With this In
mind, use the size brush with which you feel most comfortable.
Script Liners
There are two sizes, #2 and rtl. I sometimes refer to the # 1
as the “mini script liner." The #1 liner is used for small detail
work where a lot of control is needed. The #2 script liner Is used
where less control is needed such as curlicues and string ribtons.
This is one time that water is needed In the technique. Wet
these brushes, then load them as follows: Make the paint inky
with water by loading paint onto your palette and dipping the
brush into water three or four times with your brush. Roll the
brush into the diluted paint to load it, twirling the brush, and pull
it out to the side of the palette. Do this until the brush is well
loaded.
These brushes can be cleaned like the flat brushes. Be gen-
tle but clean thoroughly.

The One Sitoke™ Technique
Cleaning and Care Of finishes:
Proper cleaning and care makes brushes Iasi'longer and
perform better.
I.	Thoroughly rinse the brush with water, using the grid at the
bottom of the Brush Basin*.
2.	Squeeze finish Plus brush cleaner into the bristles and work
it In with your fingers all the way to the ferrule. Rinse with
water. Repeat, if needed.
3.	Dry the bristles on a clean cloth rag or paper towels, shaping
the bristles as you dry them. It will not harm the bristles to
leave a small amount of moisture in the them.
4.	Optional: I like to brush the bristles on a non perfumed, non-
deodorant bar of soap to help them keep their shape. Rinse
before painting again.
finish Care Tips
•	Don't allow paint to dry In your brush.
•	As you paint, occasionally rinse the bristles with water.
•	Store brushes in the Brush Basin or in a container that allows
brashes to retain their form and be separated from each other.
Using Floating Medium
Using Floating Medium on your brush will allow the paint
to stay wet longer so that strokes glide more easily on the surface,
first, load the brush—either single load, double load, or multi-
load. Dip the chisel edge of the fully loaded brush into the
Floating Medium puddle. Stroke back and forth on the palette,
then paint. Repeat every two or three strokes. |lf you do this
more often you will lose your shading.)
Transferring Patterns
1. Trace pattern onto tracing paper with a pencil or pen.
2. Lay traced pattern in position on project. Slip transfer paper
between pattern and painting surface. Trace pattern with a
stylus to transfer it. Do not press too hard on wood surfaces or
you may leave an Impnnt.
Tips
•	You may shrink or enlarge the patterns as necessary to accom-
modate the size of your project.
•	Use dark transfer paper for light surfaces and white for darker
surfaces.
•	Lightly tape the pattern to the surface to keep it from sliding.
•	It is not necessary to trace every fine detail. Transfer the main
outlines of the pattern. Tracing every detail will take away
from the natural look you are trying to attain.
Cutting Your Own Wood
The outer edge of the design patterns can be used as a pat-
tern for cutting your wood. Use the thickness of wood given in
project instructions. The width of the wood you use can be 1/2",
5/8* or 3/4". The slight difference in these sizes will not alter
the look of your projects. Transfer the outline of the design to the
wood surface in the same manner given for transferring the
design. Cut out with a jigsaw or scroll saw.
Preparing the Surface
I. Sand wood, sanding in the direction of the grain. Wipe surface
clean of dust with a tack cloth.
2. Basecoat surface. Two coats will provide a good surface to
paint on. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. You may
need to lightly sand the surface after each coat to smooth
down the grain of the wood raised by the paint.
Painting Tips
•	I usually paint the larger flowers or buds first, then fill in with
the leaves.
•	Paint your florals and leaves by building one stroke at a time.
•	On wildflowers or vines, paint the greenery first, then come
back and paint flowers, stems, and vines.
•	Apply finishing touches by painting curlicues and your signature J
