Donna says "We started making silly magnets as gifts for family, and decided to see if others liked our crazy craft. We have very different styles of painting. John has a vivid imagination and isn't afraid of color. I think his style would be considered primitive or naive. I lean more towards "cuteness" and don't have any idea what my style is!
Our dog Hannah is the inspiration for our wonderful wiener magnets, and our old cat Indy is the model for our fat cats. We both design the shapes of the magnet, and John cuts them out using his scroll saw. Each magnet is made of birch plywood, painted with acrylics, sprayed with lacquer, and has a flat magnet attached. They are numbered, signed and dated on the back. We both paint, and offer each other constructive criticism, which is either listened to or not.
We have a great time creating our magnets together and hope they make you smile!"
Donna and John have been fixtures at our 2nd Fridays on Fremont, and always have great smiles for the passersby.
You can find them tomorrow on NE Fremont at the July 2nd Friday, and on their Etsy shop. Always posting cheerful magnets, you can follow them on Twitter @laughingfridge.
