Today I will be posting about some projects I have done awhile
back. When I was thinking about the nursery for my
little one, one of my favourite projects was his nursery wall art. If you are
following my blog, you might have guessed that I absolutely love painting and
drawing...
For inspiration I use many different sources!
One of my favourite animations movie is “My neighbour Totoro”. I
have to say that I absolutely love Hayao
Miyazaki (宮﨑 駿,Miyazaki Hayao) animation movies, but “My neighbour Totoro” is a special one,
it might have to do with the story which is so heart warming.... So this would be a normal source of inspiration for my nursery wall art.
These are
characters from the movie, Totoro, the forest spirit and dust bunnies. These drawings
were quite simple to do, I just used Canson
paper and coloured pencils! The frames I bought on Ikea.
In the background you can see another project of mine, my sihlouette birds. I posted awhile how I made my silhouette birds....
And now just a little note...since my glider is showing in this
picture.... I have to say when I first saw some gliders, I didn’t like at all
its style, or how they looked like. But, now, I absolutely love my glider! It’s
so comfortable!! And the little bench that comes with the glider just adds more
to it, when nursing my little one the glider was one of my favourite spots in the
house. A few months ago my little one got some fever, and I practically spend a
whole day in my glider, gently rocking him....It was the place where
he would feel more comfortable.
So, thank you so much mum and dad! My glider is
simply a marvel!
Now a close-up of the elephant and little bunny drawings...
I am going through an elephant phase, so
elephant wall art was mandatory. These elephants are based in watercolour
paintings made by Carolyne Tillery, she owns a shop on Etsy, you might want to
check OhHellodear shop! I absolutely love all of her watercolours! To make my
elephants I also used canson paper
and coloured pencils as well. I also delimited the drawing with a black pen.
When I was thinking about decor projects for the
nursery, I thought about keeping it neutral.., But after a while, when I knew I
was having a little boy, the colours that I was choosing just naturally started
to be dominated by blue tones... After a while I just gave up about neutral
tones...
Do you have some favourite wall art projects?
