Creating a soothing and enjoyable atmosphere to relax in doesn't always mean you have to redecorate. You can find peaceful things to incorporate into your atmosphere that will change the natural feel of any room or outdoor spot. Tilghman Traditions is pleased to offer our line of one-of-a-kind, animal painted rocks. Each animal painted rock begins by being sketched then painted on a suitable rock using acrylic paints, is then signed, dated and numbered by the artist, then sealed with two coats of a special gloss finish, UV-resistant protective sealant (similar to the coating applied to your car). We worked closely with a large chemical company to create and test this product before using it on all of our rocks. We found that regular polyurethane coatings just didn't have the sun protection and outdoor protection required for the variable elements and weather conditions across the United States. This sealant will withstand almost anything with the exception of salt water submersion, chemical spills, weed wacker abuse, snow blower damage, and lawn mower mutilation. These unique animal painted rocks are perfect for enhancing your atmosphere, indoors or out. Our animal painted rocks are also perfect gifts for animal lovers, art lovers, gardeners, friends, college students, children, relatives and nature enthusiasts. Be sure to check back regularly, as the animal painted rocks offered continually change. New animal painted rock offerings are added to the site once their sealant has reached final curing status. We also do customized personal pets, pet memorial rocks, and other commission work. Please contact us for details. |

About The Artist
|
Melanie Tilghman, owner of Tilghman Traditions, comes from a family of creative people. She studied art and its varied applications throughout her education, and studied tole painting in Banks, Oregon in 1995-1996. She has always painted and done her own creations part-time while working full-time in the accounting, finance and commercial property management areas until 2003, after a mandatory surgery in 2002 left her with permanent nerve damage and severe post-surgical handicaps. Since then, she has concentrated full-time (when physically able) on her family’s own artisan and natural home spa products business, “Tilghman Traditions”.
Her painted animal rocks, or “Nature’s Treasures™”, are only one portion of the family business. Each piece is completed individually, and no two stones are ever the same. Every creation is painted in acrylic paints, signed, dated, then sealed with two coats of a specially formulated, UV-resistant, protective sealant (similar to the sealant on your car).
Along with painting “Nature’s Treasures™”, Mrs. Tilghman also designs and creates a line of “Garden China™” which includes stepping stones, sundials, butterfly bowls, tole-painted tinware and more. She also paints murals, borders and holiday window scenes along with specialty pieces when contracted in homes, businesses and schools. She also assists her family in making a full line of natural home spa bath products including designer and hand-painted soaps, bath salts, bath truffles, herbal bath teas, facial scrubs, sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, body polishers, skin fresheners, skin vinegars, bath oils, massage oils, clay masques, gift boxes and more, in addition to assisting in the design, creation and fabrication of the family's artisan mineral jewelry. Tilghman Traditions also sells mineral specimens from around the globe. Tilghman Traditions prides itself in offering people natural items pampering mind, body and spirit.
Mrs. Tilghman resides in Dutchess County, N.Y. with her husband and two children, but her work has stretched throughout the United States and continues to appeal to animal lovers, art lovers and life enthusiasts of all ages.
