Julias mural is coming along



These are the newest additions to the mural. There is beloved Lamby and a her favorite animal ~ a horse.



I put great pressure on myself to try to capture the essence of "Lamby"! I think he turned out pretty well.




With the actual Lamby.
A VERY loved stuffed animal of my daughter.

This is the beginning of the mural I'm doing for my daughter. There will be horses and other special animals by her request. Should be interesting!

Whimsical Castle

This is a computer generated graphic that I designed. I plan to have it blown up to a 4' x 6' size on decal paper and adhere to the wall.


The whole picture is in pointillism. Which means it's made completely of  tiny dots. Each color is comprised of many different colored dots and when you back up they blend together.
  The great thing about this is that it can be reproduced over and over again. If I had to paint this by hand it would take many hours and thousands of dollars.
  Here is a close up of the pointillism technique.

Recycled Ornament

The next ornament is made from the Lienenkugel Honey Weiss beer. This one is a larger size than the Oktoberfest ornament I posted prior. I posted a picture that has both in it to give you an idea as to the size difference. I also used a clear cord instead of a ribbon to expand the different ways they can be altered and give a new look.

Two sizes

Recycled Ornament

This is my newest creation made from the case that bottles of Lienenkugels beer comes in. This particular one is the Fall 2010 Oktoberfest Beer.
