Above is a view of the sky - getting closer & closer to the hummingbird and Bottle Brush - in a Beverly Glen Home for a baby boy's room. The ceiling is shaped like a natural skylight would be. Below, the clouds are 'right-side up', and these Bluebirds on a flowering Plum-Tree branch are what you see when you walk in. |

Above is a full Bedroom Set of Shabby Chic style on display for sale at "Furniture & Etc." in Tarzana, CA. I was aching to try out some Fairy designs, and this was an exercise in somewhat copying from Cicely Mary Barker's 'flower fairies' (except for my own 'Abutilon Fairy'. It was also just so that they could have a display piece showing possibilities of custom hand-painted work. These fairies were painted so tiny that close-up detail of the faces was difficult. I have since done a whole mural piece with my own flower fairies--very cute originals, for which I shall devote another web page. It was done on canvas for reproduction exclusively for wallsdecor.com, soon to be published on the web. |

Baby's Personal Rocker:
Faux-Finished Baby Rocker |
|
This baby rocking chair was painted to the simple specifications that the "distressed" effect be done over a dark stained wood. I just happened across this oak chair, which I lightly sanded and stained before applying the acrylic colors I always apply natural clear or sometimes tinted wax after all painting is done...it really brings out the grain and a nice satiny glow...not glossy at all. Distressed furniture such as this is considered a form of "Faux Finish" technique. |
Toile Scenery on Distressed Baby Chair |
| Below is another baby chair
made to compliment the Winnie-the-Pooh Toile wallpaper which was Sage
Green on cream...the scenes are most likely of the Blustery Day! (So far I only have pics of my having scanned the chair itself! I accidentally gave the chair to the client before taking pics...so much the better, tho, as now I can take pics in the room itself!...available shortly!) |

This tree actually has more vibrancy of color than the photo shows, however, the flowers in the foreground were painted to match the ones in the curtains. The one banch in the tree ends where the upper curtains were hung on a branch-like rod, with ironed-on leaves floating down. |
