Madison

A friend of mine asked me to do a painting for her daughter's room since they've just re-done it! She ordered this adorable bedding from Wake Up Frankie! So cute!! It's all dots - turquoise, black, and white. This is the picture from the website, not Madison's room (even though the initial shown here is an M!) Madison is a 6th grader, so I didn't want to paint something that was too little girlish (is that a word??), so I went with the pattern in a picture board that she has in her room.
this is the picture from www.wakeupfrankie.com


this is a picture of Madison's bedding with the damask fabric that was used on her picture board
Here's the finished product! The only "dots" that I used was the large center circle and then accented with some pearly white dots around that circle. And totally off topic, but I really need to take these pictures in better light or somewhere else in my house because these aren't that great!!

Some stripes on the side!

I think this will grow with her as long as she keeps these colors in her room! Hope you enjoy, miss Madison!

Butterflies for Lexi & Emily

Emily Grace Jones joined my cousin's family about a month ago, making Lexi a big sister. I wanted to paint something for the girls' room as a gift to them. It wasn't a suprise so I got to go check out the bedding in the room to match up colors. Lexi has really cute striped bedding, and they've accented with butterflies in the room. This is what I came up with! Love it. It's the first time I've done 2 names on 1 canvas.


I am really liking how the fabric paint gives a 3-dimensional look to the canvas. I hope it lasts okay!



I really like this font....it's super fun

I can't wait to see it in their room!
