Inventory is low due to all the shut-downs. I am unable to get statues at this time. But rest assured! Once this pandemic is over I will gather as many statues as I can and slowly paint to get them into my shop. I do have owls and cats that I need to paint. Thank you for understanding. Be safe out there. Stay healthy. Most of all be kind to each other.
Michele's Artful Boutique is filled with hand painted patio, porch and home decorative critters. I've brought life to these creatures by painting each one single handed enhancing their appearance. Select from frogs, turtles, birds, owls, snails and puppies! Most of my critters are made of solid concrete, where some are ceramic, poly-resin or metal that will be hand painted by me, Michele, with exterior products, but should be placed under a covered patio or porch. If you do plan on putting them in your garden, please varnish with Marine Varnish to help aid in the harsh weather.
(Note: If you live in harsh weather that consist of ice and snow in the winter, it is recommended to bring your little critters in to aid in their longevity. Marine varnish is recommended to apply every 1 to 2 years. As with any product that is intended for outdoors, harsh weather is brutal on exterior surfaces and needs attention to last a life time).
Please do notice that it takes time, material and patience to paint these little guys. Watch my video on how I've painted the squirrel right before your eyes (in time lapsed of course)

5 out of 5 starsPerfect. Just perfect! Can't express enough how much I love this piece of art. It looks like an old German piece of art!! The shipping was unbelievably fast. Ordered on a Friday, received on the next Monday; that's from California to Pennsylvania! Just thrilled about this purchase!!!! This frog is so neat that it's staying inside the house, not outside. Thank you, thank you soo much! Hands down this ARTIST/SHOP/SELLER is brilliant! Will definitely put this ARTIST in my favorites slot. I want another one for my sister.

About MiArtfulBoutique
Hand Painted Animal Statues
Click on the video just above and see how I've brought to life my little Gray Squirrel statue. Completely hand painted by me (Michele) and you can see it all in just 1 minute 30 seconds. Isn't technology fantastic?! I love my job :)
I am passionate about creating art and love using different finishes that I have learned over the years of being in the business of refinishing cabinetry and furniture. I am always experimenting with paint and chemicals to create a new look.

I don't like to sit very long, because I am always wanting to create. The only time I really stop is when I go to sleep. It is in my veins and I want to find new things that I can touch, feel, paint and build.
I am a creator, therefor I am artful
