Newspaper Article – LLCrafts & Ahoghill Display

Time to say CHEESE for the photographer!!

It was an honour for my small Northern Ireland business ‘LL Crafts‘ to have been asked to contribute to the beautiful ‘Britain in Bloom‘ Ahoghill Creamery Display

and it was fantastic to see ‘Ballymena Artist Louise Lester’  included in this great newspaper article, shown on the front page of the ‘Ballymena Times’

It was lovely being photographed with the 88year old Samuel Johnston, whose family owned the old Ahoghill Creamery, cutting the red ribbon ……. along with ‘Ahoghill Traders Association’ members and ‘Britain in Bloom’ judges, who all offically opened the Ahoghill Floral Displays.

LLCrafts – Part of Ahoghill ‘Britain In Bloom’ Display

Community Project for ‘Britain In Bloom’

It was absolutely wonderful for ‘LL Crafts‘ to be involved in a great community project with Ahoghill, for the floral competition of ‘Britain in Bloom’. I was very kindly asked to hand paint ‘Three Milkchurns’ and a large ‘Butter Box’ for the focal point of a beautiful ‘Creamery Floral Display’ …… celebrating the ‘Old Creamery’ that, in its day, was once the heart and soul of Ahoghill’s everyday community life.

The whole display has turned out fantastic and it is a real credit to the ‘Ahoghill Traders Association’ and all the volunteers who erected the display and who lovingly maintain it.

Beautiful detail on the top of ‘Butter Box’ …. painted to look similiar to the old-fashioned blocks of butter.

 

So, it really was a pleasure to be part of this great community project and i thoroughly loved hand-painting the milkchurns and butterbox on display………. and i wish Ahoghill lots of ‘GOOD LUCK’ with the ‘Britain in Bloom’ awards.

Painted Milk Churn Order

Personalised Milkchurn by Ballymena Artist Louise Lester

One of the beautiful ‘Personalised Milkchurns’ hand painted by myself, Louise Lester of ‘LLCrafts’. This design was exactly what my customer commissioned …. complete with her house door number and this aluminium milk churn has even been admired as far away as Canada.

Just imagine this lovely big ‘Kingfisher’ sitting in your house, perfectly suitable for indoor or exterior use. Actually this image was to match the kingfisher etched on this customer’s glass front door, and even the direction that the kingfisher was facing was a key element in the design.

So, have your own idea painted onto your commissioned Milkcan. Supply your own churn or have one of mine!

Payment can be made by- Cash / Paypal / Credit Cards (Visa, etc) / or  even Set-up a Standing Order or Instalments
