Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

[coastaltrash]

Got home today and discovered that my wonderful painted floor cloth from Andrew and Kirsten Martin. If you are in the need for something well worth the money, do yourself a favor and drop Andrew a message at drewmar74@yahoo.com you will not be sorry! Each design is unique, so you won't get into the pattern of seeing similar patterns all over camp- be it on the march or in the citizens camp. These are perfect additions to any impression and fairly priced for the time and quality involved.

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

Thanks, Pat. We're happy that you're happy with it.

We've been dying to post a photo but didn't want to do so until you got the cloth in your hands.

I've attached a snapshot of the cloth and some custom work we did on the back.

I recieved my floor cloth in the mail today from Andrew and it is incredible. As Skip said "Very tallented and user friendly couple willing to go above and beyond for authenticity and quality" and I couldn't agree more!!!

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

Thanks, fellas. When we take one of y'all's orders, its our job to make sure you're happy.

And Kirsten appreciates the kudos more than anyone. She's the one that handles the hard work.

Here are a couple of pictures of the custom work that the wife did for Skip.

If they look a bit fuzzy, its because the camera lens fogged a bit when we took the pictures. Cool, dry inside, warm and muggy outside.

Skip actually had that groundsheet cut into a pair of chaps that he's going to wear down in the Inner Harbor to impress the homeless folks and beggars known to populate that area. With any luck, he can wear them into Vaccaro's for a nice evening occasion.

Fred! Well now you just ruined your suprise, I had two made-one for me and one for you! We were going to be the hit of the inner harbor!

Seriously though, Andrew and Kirsten worked extra hard on these because of the particualr ideas i had. Wanted them to be documented federalist/patriotic themed floor cloths. These were taken off a combined effort from Original quilt samples from the 1850s and 1860s. Great work! They will be waiting for me then I return from my travels overseas.

Kudos on a talented work of art!

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

I think Kirsten has gotten attached to this one.... I'm not sure if she's actually going to ship it or not!

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

The latest creation. But this one is mine.

We found documentation that pointed to painting in a faux marble finish.... Wife tried it out on mine and we think it turned out pretty nice.

Kirsten should have some new stock hitting Joe Blunt's Carter and Jasper site here soon.

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

I too own one of these floor cloths, and even though I stuck with a very simple design, the quality of work is still outstanding. I'll probably get another at some point.

It also doesn't weigh a ton like other painted cloths offered.

Excellent work, and top-notch customer service with this vendor.

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

Here was the second floorcloth that we did for Skip. Figured we had posted the first one so we might as well post the second one.

Re: Wonderful Painted Floor Cloth

It is truely a pleasure dealing with Abner and Kirsten. In the space of around a week and a half, I went from having a vauge idea of what I wanted on my Floor Cloth's back, to what I ended up with, ready to ship.
