Craft Book: Easy to Paint Folk Designs
by Ken Smith
1974 Craft Course Publishers
24 Pages

If you're a yen for the rustic, and a "hankerin" to be painting like the Pennsylvania Dutch folk, then won't you be pleased as a kitty cuddlin' on a quilt to learn that "Dutch" painting is simple as coloring in a coloring book! Really. All it takes is a little time, the proper patterns, and the dauntless desire to turn ordinary objects into extra-ordinary decorator items. This book provides eleven pattern designs adopted from Early American museum pieces, and richly rendered in appropriate color schemes - the easier for you to copy them, you see!

So follow the lead of your ancestors along with the many modern homemakers who are finding pleasure in painting the simple designs of yesteryear. There's no need to be timid! Start today on a blank breadboard or a long-ignored knife holder. We have a "just-the-thing" pattern for this venture on page 15. Try it, and all the other patterns in this book, and you're sure to come away from these pages just "rarin" to decorate your furnishings with the delightful touch of the Pennsylvania Dutch!
