Carefully painted in bright colors over a base coat of start black paint, each of these garden stones is highly detailed, resistant to fading and a beautiful addition to any garden. As Gabrielle herself puts it:
“I started painting stones a couple of years ago. In one of my classes at school our teacher got us to make Paper Mache masks and we dotted the faces on. I decided to try it on stones and seal them so they could last longer. I got lots of orders for them and my aunt thought that I should try selling them at the Farmer’s Market. So far I am doing very well there.”

I don’t use a pattern or even draw on the wood. I just pick up a piece of wood and start cutting. Each piece is unique, not exactly the same as any other. Many of them use the natural shape of the wood, I like to show the beauty that is naturally in the wood as well as what I might shape it into. Most of the time my business consists of only myself and my tools. Occasionally I get a friend or relative to do some work for me.
My products can be purchased directly from me on Saturday mornings at the Farmers’ Market, either to people who come to my house or by mail. It is much easier for me to sell through the markets, craft fairs and some galleries and shops.
I took part in the holiday market of the Dartmouth Handcrafters’ Guild last fall, and the Marconi Campus fair and Christmas at Victoria Park Craft Show, and my product did really well. I have some things in the Inverness County Centre for the Arts, Sunset Gallery (in Cheticamp), The Craft Gallery (in Sackville, NB), and sometimes in a few other places. I also have some in the Cape Breton Centre for Crafts and Design gallery, though they are changing their rules and raising their fees and I’m not sure at this point what I am going to decide. Directions to my place are too complicated and long to put here. If people want to come, they can e-mail or call. When I am not at my craft I spend time in my garden, when it yields a good crop, I end up selling it at the farmers’ market.
