Now all the Bird Fronts are completed, and below you can see the rest of the Backs of the pillows.
I will post pictures of the finished (sewn up and stuffed) pillows when they are done. I think there are 15 of them!

Bird Pillow Fabric

Here are some more water birds :

These are the fronts for fabric pillows, the backs can be seen 2 post earlier than this one.

Remember, click on the photos to see them larger!

I am very happy with these birds! I am particularly pleased with their eyes and expressions. I like the way the water is looking too.

The whole project ia making me feel like I am on vacation at the beach.

Bird Pillows

Here are the first three of the water bird pillow fronts I am working on right now.

To start off, I draw in the basic outlines of the figure in chalk. It's easy to correct, with a wet sponge, and when the fabric is done, residual chalk washes away when I wash the fabric after heat setting.








In winter time, Sarasota is a stopping off point for the European White Pelican.

New Pillow Project

I am starting these new pillows with what will be the backs....
this way I can establish my colours and get a feel for the palette...The fronts will feature a variety of sea birds.....one bird per pillow, about 5-8 pillows...











Here are a couple of pillow backs in an earlier stage, and then finished..you can see the process a little.

These crib head and footboards are delightful, romantic. I am very pleased with the results!

Cherubs on Cribs

Here you can see the results of a few days of work on the cribs; I have been working as fast as I can, until late at night to get this work done in time for their immediate use!
So far so good, I am not behind shedule yet...!

Baby Cribs with Cherubs And Roses

I have been comissioned to paint the outer end pieces for two baby cribs, for two baby girls yet to arrive, although they are expected quite soon....We are all hoping they wait to get here until after the cribs are all painted. I am working as fast as I can...

I can fit three of the four pieces on my work table....as soon as I complete one, I can get the fourth one going too.
