Life Cycle in Felt

Made a life cycle set: the egg on a leaf, the caterpillar (using my centipede), the chrysalis, and the butterfly!

(view my frog life cycle here)

First Felt-ustration: Farm

I've always wanted to make an illustration using felt. I completed one for my nephew's nursery! His room has a John Deere Baby theme.

It was fun!

Hallway Pattern

I've planned on making this pattern on my hallway walls and finally did it!

A couple years ago I scoured Lowes for stencils and/or stamps that I had in mind and these were the only two I liked. Didn't know how I would end up using one or both. Figured out that they nested into each other a bit.

Viola! Ambitious is a better word than crazy. (finally got baseboard too, yippee!)

Felt Critters continued

made some more: a chipmunk, requested to go with the squirrel :)

and chicks for the girls' Easter baskets (those are dangly thread legs haha)

Felt Critters

I've gotten on a felt kick.

Here's some critters I've been making to satisfy my creative bone!

(Yes, it has one hundred legs.) See my daughter's related centipede project here

New christmas card design

I have revealed my Christmas card illustration /design for this year. See it here on my portfolio :)

My latest project complete!

Self-published author Elisabeth Hurley and I have finished her latest book: Here are a few of my favorites out of it... I also had posted more here. The book is available on lulu.com !

Light house bathroom

I re-decorated the bathroom...

after! lighthouse soap, trash, even toiletbrush!

Love the lighthouse curtain hooks. I have a good place for mister Otter now too.

Here is one of the wall art I stuck to the wall (just cut cardstock, glued on, painted over)...

another shell on wall and lighthouse toothbrush holder...

more shells on wall above sink and all over...

in that frame (above) is this that I made (below)...

we're very happy with it all.

tooth fairy design

tooth fairy costume: $2. 1 skirt and 1 pair of wings at dollar store. tooth design and ribbons on shirt. old sock with coins and tooth design on it for pouch.

tooth design on back of wings, tooth design on crown.

milk jug for tooth bucket! "property of the tooth fairy." 1 funny theme = happier kid who doesn't have to be "just a fairy."

my latest: recipe illustrations

My latest illustrations; this is a recipe at the end of a book. Cinnamon almond stars...

This is the very last illustration for the book! Working on the cover and page layouts to finish it all! Stay tuned...
