Baby Gift

So my friend is having a baby boy today or tomorrow! I decided i would make her letters to put on his wall. His name is William. I wanted to share with you how it turned out and the process i went through to make it.

Ok so here is the bedding for William's room...obviously this was my inspiration. Since Leah, his mom, was leaving the walls beige; i thought it would be fun to add some color to the letters! I love drawing and painting and thought this would be a unique and different way to do letters.

so before i paint...i like to see if i like the "idea" first. So i got onto paint and started doodling with some ideas and came up with the following two images...Because of a lack of time and only having tiny computer images instead of the real thing I opted not to do the monkey...so here is the finished product...i wish you could see it better.. I will ask Leah to send me a picture when it is up on the wall! I hope i got the colors right! Again, hard to get colors right when you are working with computer images. I also found two cute little frames that fit the "sailor" motif and decided to send those to her too! She should be getting them before the end of the week!
