Hero from Miguel Endara on Vimeo. I saw this over on Drawn! and had to share with you. It’s insanely awesome!
I fell in love with this duvet cover as soon as I saw it over on IHeart Organizing. Turns out, Jen from A Thousand Words created it from her son’s, artwork! I’m going to give you the basic rundown of what she did, but be sure to visit her blog for the real step-by-step!
First, Jen collected Daniel’s drawings and scanned them into the computer. (BTW, these are Pokémon that Daniel invented, how awesome!)
Jen cleaned them up on the computer. See her blog for details on this.
She then printed them out much bigger than the originals.
And traced them onto the duvet cover with a fabric pen.
And traced…
and traced…
and traced some more…
and in the end, I think it was totally worth it! This is such a cool way to display kids’ art (or your own!) and makes such a neat personal item! If you have kids and do this for them you probably get 72,000,000 awesome points. That’s how many points I would give my mom, anyhow. I don’t know if I’m up for doing a whole duvet cover (besides, Daniel’s art is better than mine, and it’s not as cute when you’re 25 and draw stick figures all over your duvet cover), but I’m thinking I’d like to do a coffee cup border on some pillowcases! Maybe draw a spider or two onto Anthony’s pillowcase… Okay, that might be evil of me, but there are some really good possibilities! Visit Jen!What do you think? Would you be an awesome parent and do this with your kids’ art? How about drawing yourself a duvet cover?want to be featured on my blog? contact me!
This fox print is just beautiful. I love all the line work! I would never be patient enough to do that. I’ve been following Sarah’s blog, A Lost Feather, for a few months now. I love her artwork, it’s so delicate! She’s a full-time artist, and really inspiring. In order to drum up some more business this holiday season, Sarah’s offering a print-at-home file of her “Girl and Wolves” print, and 10% off her Etsy shop in exchange for a blog post about her work [more info]. Well, I’d be more than happy to blog about her without any freebies, because, I mean, just look at this stuff! It was really hard for me to choose a few favorites. Truth is, I’ve been oggling a few things in her shop since I stumbled on her blog. Everything is just too cute!
These teacups are so cute! I love them! I imagine myself drinking tea and writing in my tea notebook which I carried in my tea tote down to the tea shop. Except we don’t have a tea shop, but that’s why I said imagine.
Nikon and notebooks? I’ll take 7. I have an obsession with notebooks and I love Nikons.
How adorable is this necklace? I LOVE wearable art! Visit A Lost Feather on Etsy!(and visit Sarah’s blog, you’ll love that too!)Want to be featured on my site? Send me an email!
Thought I would try out some pencil drawings since it’s been a while. What do you think?
On Saturday I spent the day at the mall, drawing and painting on TOMS shoes! It was a lot of fun–and a little stressful! I drew or about 5.5 hours and my hand was cramping up by the end. I think everyone was happy with how their shoes turned out except for maybe the crazy high-maintenance woman at the very end who wanted a cobra on her son’s shoes. She wanted something realistic (which she didn’t say until after I’d started), but I did cartoony, and, let’s be honest, if I’d tried to make it look realistic it would have looked terrible. The kid really liked them, so whatever! I did some really cool patterns on two pairs of shoes–the girls who requested them asked for them to match their woven bags–but unfortunately the picture above is the only one I got all day since I was super-busy! By the way, do you like my cupcake dress? I made it out of fabric I had printed at Spoonflower and an old t-shirt! I also made some coffee cup pajama pants which I will have to show you another time. I’m terrible* at sewing, but am about 70% happy with how both items turned out, which is really saying something for me! =] You might notice that I am not wearing TOMS. I don’t own any. Maybe one day when I make money again I’ll buy some TOMS. They are really comfy and now I know I can draw on them! =P What did you do this weekend?Do you have any TOMS? Ever drawn on them?*By “terrible” I mean anything beyond straight lines is impossible and I’m always redoing things 5-6 times because I can’t figure out how shapes go together. |
