Storybook Castle . . . Again

April 6, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 3 Comments

I posted this project yesterday but could not get the link party buttons to post. I have no idea why. I tried everything – deleting, reposting, etc. – and nothing worked. So I decided to rewrite it as a new post and see if it happens. If this has happened to you, please let me know. I’d love to know how to fix it.

I love that little girls still love princesses & fairies, just like when I was a little girl. It just goes to show the more things change, the more they stay the same.

This is quite a bit mural on canvas – 52” high by 40” long. It nearly covers an entire wall in a small bedroom.

Storybook Castle

I made the banners and flags purple, cuz every little girl I know loves purple! When this mural finds a home, I’ll add initials to the banners.

The castle grounds have little purple, blue & white flowers on a lawn of soft greens.

The border is a loose scroll with climbing pink flowers and leaves winding around it.

If you look at the top of this pic, you can see the stitching line. There is a casing at the top that holds a large white dowel that has finials attached. (I forgot to take a picture of those sorry)

This sweet castle is going into my Etsy shop, but if you’re interested in it (or something like it), just email me.
