I am proud to say that I have finished all the paintings for the baby's room. I ended up with a lot more than what I originally intended but I think I'll manage to fit them all up there somehow.
One of the beautiful parts of this project what that is was ultimately made and put together by three mothers. One grandmother helped bring and cut the fabric strips for some of the balloons and another grandmother helped pick out and cut all of the mats for the paintings.
Of course the choosing of the animals was a group effort. Many participated in this aspect including my 5-year-old niece. Perhaps she didn't know what she was helping with but she did run off a list of animals when asked. My nephews were not as interested as there was a movie playing at the time of the question.
Another rewarding aspect to completing these paintings is that I met one of my goals for this first half of the year. One down, four more to go. Keeping my fingers crossed as I only have four weeks left until due date.
Husband's love for me has inflated my ambition with painting. Although his opinion might be slightly subjective, he believes that I could market myself on Etsy with some nursery paintings. Perhaps that might be a good path to look at in the near future.
As I haven't painted since I've been married, it was kind of exciting to sign my paintings with my married name.
The idea came from a combination of pictures on Pinterest and of course some personal creativity.
The music notes were to capture my husband's love for music. I'm considering getting a couple of hanging shelves on the walls and modge podging sheet music onto them to tie it all together. Any thoughts?
