BEHOLD...The ABC Wall Art thingymagig:
I had this vision of what it would look like. It didn't quite turn out like I thought, but it'll do. My kid won't know any better for awhile. And when he says that he doesn't like it, we will GLADLY take it down!
I knew I wanted to use this sticker for the Jack-o-Lantern. Then I went to put it in the block & realized that the block was way too big for it. So I had to improvise & add some drawing to it. Personally, I like how that part turned out.
The Baseball. That was the 1st letter that I did. I drew a baseball then stitched red thread to make it look "real."
Nighttime. I kept putting that letter off. Because, I knew I wanted a dark background with stitched stars. I was just being lazy. So I finally got that done. The Turtle shell is made from a paint swatch that I just cut out and drew on. Clever? Perhaps.
The Yo-Yo. Well, I'm not gonna lie. I don't like the fact that you can see the glue that was used to hold down the string. Oh well. And the Rabbit. OH....dear.....GAWD! That was the LAST letter to get done. I knew right away that I wanted to use that fabric for his body. I had to dig through to the bottom of my crate of fabric to get it (not an easy task). Then when I started to make him, it just didn't look right. Then I glued a fuzzy ball on the end for the tail. When I put the project in the frame, it all flattened down more than I thought it would. It was late & I was DONE with this project so I said, "Fudge It! I'm done!"
Voila! Wall Art for the baby's room.
The next wall art project will NOT be as intense.
