Gabriella's Grouping

This is the grouping of canvases created to coordinate with Gabriella's bedding and 'bug' nursery.



6 individual, coordinating canvases hung together over her crib.
Hand-painted name canvas. Lined on top with 'fluffy' blue ribbon and crystal-like beading. Under the name are cut squares of lavender and white plaid fabric, topped with (hand tied)delicate light blue satin bows and purple buttons.

A lot of detail in this one! Hand painted canvas to match a scene in the bedding. Green and white polkadotted ribbon on the corners, green pom poms line the vine, purple pom poms on the bee, pink buttons on the wings, and 'real' artificial flowers add a true 3-D effect.

Hand-painted dragonfly on canvas. Antennae are pink pom poms, yellow ribbon along the bottom, and various size and colored green buttons on the wings coordinate with the buttons along both sides.

Hand-painted ladybug canvas, with blue pom poms for the antennae and lavender pom poms lining the top and bottom edges. The swirls were created with soft fluffy yarn-like material.

One of my favorites! Hand-painted snail canvas with glittery letters for the middle name. Lavendar ribbon along the top coordinates with the squares on the "Gabriella" canvas. The ribbon is lined with buttons of various colors to coordinate with the nursery, as is the bottom of the canvas. Lavender pom poms for the antennae and fluffy, 'feather-like' materal hanging from the bottom.

A lot of time went into this one! (I wish the picture was better.) Hand-painted bee canvas with criss crossing green satin ribbon wrapped all around. The bee has yellow pom poms for the antennae, pink buttons on the wings, and is holding a satin fabric flower.

Fall or Frosty?

Getting ready for the holidays! I love decorating for fall, Thanksgiving, winter, and Christmas! Here are just a couple of pieces of 'seasonal' art wall hangings. Each piece is custom made and can be personalized with any saying, quote, or name.

Ribbon will be added to the top for hanging. Hand-painted wooden plaque with textured ribbons, 2 glittery leaves, 2 hand-painted wooden leaves, and coordinating buttons. Isn't fall fun?

Very 3-D Wintery wall hanging. Clips are on the back for hanging, but a ribbon could also be attached. Scrolly writing. All hand-painted, wooden snowman, flakes, and 3 circles. Various shades of blue buttons and ribbons. Tiny blue pom poms for added flair.

Friendly Picture Frames

A sampling of picture frames. Frames are one of my favorites to create! There are so many things you can do.

I love how this one turned out! Adorable frame for an adorable girl! A flowery display of pinks, purples, yellows, and greens. Hand-painted and created with buttons, ribbons, fabric, cardstock, glittery letters, and 'real' artificial flowers! The ribbon goes along the entire outside of the frame as well.

To Lucy with love! A hand-painted wooden frame with 3-D wooden letters and bird. Also includes ribbon along the top, bottom, and all along the edge. Buttons and rosebuds make this frame complete.

This is actually a mirror created to match little Leah's nursery. Hand-painted wooden frame and pink initials. Coordinating ribbons and hand-painted wooden dots to finish.

Matching wooden frames (in their natural color) for the grandparents. Created with hand-painted "Gabriella", foam 3-D "Noni" and "Popi", coordinating ribbons, buttons, and 'real' artificial flowers. Now filled with baby pics!

Girly Name Canvases

Here are a few girls' name canvases I have done.

This one was done for my daughter's room. It is one in a grouping of 6 canvases for above her crib. Fluffy beading on top; plaid fabric, buttons, and ribbon/bows on bottom.

To match little Laney's pretty pink, green, and white nursery. Accented with crystal-like beading, ribbons, wooden hand-painted flowers, buttons, and individual pink rosebuds.

Made for big sister, Nikki's, super cute green and pink room. She is a princess for sure! Accented with a hand-painted wooden crown and stars. Also included, a hand-painted foam castle, with pink ribbons and fluffy pom poms!
