Mama's been painting

Sorry it has been so long since I posted here, but there has been much going on in the way of moving. I am just getting back into the crafting groove. The first thing to be done in out new house was to paint.
Jimmy asked for a jungle room and we picked out this mural from Elephants on the Wall.

This was great fun to do and I really enjoyed adding my own touches to it.


Jimmy says that the monkey dancing is the Mama, the hanging monkey is the Daddy, the swinging monkey is Jimmy and the climbing monkey is Joey...

So among other things (like a river, fancy nails and lips) the Mama and Daddy monkey have wedding rings on.

A look into this corner where there is a mini-mural, connected with a free handed bird of paradise in bloom and other plants along the bottom.


And off to this corner where I extended a branch around the corner to add some parrots at a later date. I also added a red ti plant and you can see where the river flows off into the distance...


Joey's murals were from Moppet Murals on esty. The train mural is just ast the pattern intended with the exception of a blue sky- I thought it was redundant on a blue wall...


Joey also has a city scene. This is the as far as the pattern goes. I am currently expanding it down the wall and have added a park and a hot air balloon. I will be adding in a bike trail and our family on bikes and a trio of wind generators in the background. I am still trying to cope in my little green heart that there are three exhaust billowing cars going down the road... maybe I should add little "H's" to them to show that they are hybrid or, even better, hydrogen powered and those billowing clouds are water vapor? We shall have to wait and see.


Remember you can click on any of the pictures to see more details. I highly suggest that you do!
