In my previous post, Lovely Lettering Projects, I realized I keep lettering the same way over and over again. ~Isn’t there a saying about Insanity and repeating things the same way? Don’t answer that. ~ Anyway, I’ve always used graphite paper to transfer letters, then just fill in with paint. This was a little off […]
Line Art – Giraffes
I found this line art when I was going thru some of my clients’ files. You could use them as patterns for decoupage, stencils, or just coloring pages for your little one! Whether I draw or paint giraffes, their eyes always turn out a little dreamy. I have no idea why. I love this Momma […]
Lions & Tiger Murals – ROAR!
What is it about wild animals? Why do we love them so much? Or, at least, pictures of them. They’re one of my favorite things to paint, whether realistically or nursery murals. This lion family painting in a baby boy nursery is one of my all time favorites. It’s fairly realistic, but with muted colors. […]
Princess & The Frog – Finished!
Are you tired of looking at this mural yet? I hope not. I wanted to share the finished pics and I also have an ulterior motive. One of my favorite bloggers, InfarrantlyCreative, joined forces with 3 other gals to create this fabulous new site – The CSI Project (create, share, inspire). This week they’re having […]
Disney’s Princess & The Frog Mural
My Disney projects continue! I actually haven’t finished this, but I wanted to share my progress. This mural is being painted on the backside of a closet door. Why the backside? Because the picture below was painted on the front. I painted this a few years ago when the room was decorated in Classic Pooh. […]
Completed Disney Mural

This ‘horse’ wall was complete, except for the flowers. The adjacent wall was my goal. I had previously brought the branch onto the wall & chalked the […]
Disney Mural for Little Girls’ Bedroom
I didn’t get a chance to finish this Saturday, but thought I’d go ahead and post it anyway. I’ll finish it up later this week. The mural is for two pretty sisters – 4 & 5 years old – who share this wonderful girly-girl lavender room. I’ll take pictures of the whole room later because […]
Wine Cellar Mural
Well, it’s not really a cellar, but wine ‘closet’ just didn’t sound as appealing. First, let me just say how much I love these clients. I met them years ago when I was a floral designer in a craft store and she was planning her daughter’s wedding. I wound up doing all the flowers for […]
