Birds of a Feather

It all started with a colouring sheet Oliver brought home from preschool:



He brought these home when I was expecting little Charlotte and just thinking about setting up a nursery fit for our little baby girl.  Looking at these little birds (a sheet I have seen reproduced at several preschool playtimes since O first brought it home...) gave me an idea!

I set to work with some interesting, colour-saturated paper - both patterened and plain, and created little collages in the shape and pattern of his colouring sheet birds. 

I really like the effect of the birds (I turned them into vinyl stickers at my local print shop), which I placed onto a "wire" I drew onto the white nursery wall.




The whole flock, available here !


I love that our little Charlotte noticed these brightly feathered friends very soon after she was born...they were made with lots of love...

  2. This is such a simple and lovely decision - I regret that something like this did not come to my mind when my baby was small. Well, next time, may be.

    Your daughter is adorable )
