A princess and a fire engine

Things have been a little busy lately, so much so that I haven't had a chance to share the last two canvases that I have made.

Firstly, one for the girls... 

This canvas displays a princess or ballerina figure, complete with a fluffy, red tulle dress and jewel necklace. The colour red reminds me of 'love' so I wanted a quote or message that reflects this sentiment, hence, the words 'Love shines through everything she does' have been added. I couldn't help but add a little row of hearts on the right hand side.

Now for the boys...

Previously I mentioned that the colour red reminds me of 'love', however, I wanted to create a canvas especially for boys. Therefore I had to think of something 'boy-like' that is red...and the first thing that came to mind was... a fire engine! It seemed to match perfectly with the colour scheme of red and grey. Do you happen to see the word 'fire'? I found this word on a t-shirt and had to let it subtly shine through the background.

These canvases add a splash of colour and creativity to a blank wall in a child's room and are easy to hang as they are complete with a little hook. Canvases can also be personalised with a child's name and birth date to create a memento of a special day.

Monday in the making

As mentioned in the previous post, I visited the local craft shop and bought quite a few metres of soft tulle - the tulle used in dancewear or for bridal veils, not the rough netting type.

Then I spent a bit of time, carefully rolling it up, rather than folding. That was the tricky part...however it has been worth it as I have been working on another project which is quickly taking shape.

I am making ballerina skirts that fit girls. I am about to embark on making more of my ballerina dolls and I thought that I could make larger versions for little girl ballerinas. I have chosen pink for the trial and I am just about finished it. I will show you photos of the finished product soon...

As also mentioned, I am busily making up another doll set which is quickly coming to life. I am about to go on a short break and I am gathering together a few projects that I can take with me that don't require a sewing machine - unfortunately, my newest doll set falls into that category, so that will be a project while I am at home. However, I will be bringing lots of tulle with me and hopefully ballerina dolls and little girl tutus will be the result.

P.S - I apologise for the photo size. My computer is not letting me open my usual photo program and I have resized these photos in a different program. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon!
