Farmhouse Sheep Artwork

I shared this shabby chippy cupboard the other day

and a peek at the vignette that was on top of it

but I had a lot of questions about the artwork~ so 

 sharing more about that little sheep.

This print is a reproduction of an old antique engraving

but is brand new

While browsing through Gallery Direct I found this charming fellow HERE

(along with so many other vintage animal engravings )

and decided to order a print of him for a little French Farmhouse vignette.

I had this artwork printed on birchwood ~ which I absolutely love.

When GD prints on the wood- the texture and character of the wood shows through

the artwork and really lends itself to a vintage feel.

I was thinking of something that looked like an old advertising sign

and on the wood- and in the large size it is ~ it definitely has that feel.

Originally I was planning on using this piece in the kitchen

but when it arrived, I knew just where it belonged.

So it just might stay there for a bit.
