Pigwidgeon - acrylic paint and paper
I wanted to a Harry Potter -esk theme in my baby boy's room, but wanted to make it younger, more appropriate for a small child ... I just love the colours and characters in the movies. So I have the owls going up on his wall, and am working on a long red train to go into his room as well. My very talented sister made some curtains to follow this theme.
Hey those turned out great they look good up on the wall too!
ReplyDeleteI just rented the latest movie, and was underwhelmed {it just didn't meld with the previous ones for me} but it spurred me on to re-read the series and I was just blown away by how much I geniunely love the characters and the spirit of those books. And you have managed to capture those feelings in your paintings. I heart the twee Pigwidgeon the most. Your interpretations are softer, rounder and infinitely more kid-friendly but you have maintained the essence and the intergrity. I love the patterns within the pictures { I meant to mention that before, when you used that green paper for the partridge in the pear tree piece}. Banner job all round!

P.s. Your sister's drapes rock! I was immediately reminded of the scenes when they play Quidditch. Also reminded that I think I rock when I re-attach a loose button. *grins*
ha ha, thanks guys, Andrea thanks, I was trying to make them more kid friendly while keeping the personalities showing. I love the Harry Potter series too, but it's probably a little old for a 7 month old :) this is my cheat!
