Peacocks and {Pottery Barn Kids}


A friend of mine is getting ready to transition her little girl into her "big girl bed" and is also redecorating her bedroom. She asked me to make three pictures for her room that would coordinate with the new bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. I had so much fun with these three pieces, I thought I'd give a peek into my design process.

 Here are the patterned papers I selected. I next went to Pinterest and pinned a few things for inpiration onto my "Custom Orders: Inspiration" Board.

And here are my initial sketches. This was my first peacock...I was so looking forward to making her! Once I actually got started, I changed the peacock so she was front and center and her feathers were spread out behind her. (I envisioned the Peacock picture hung in the middle of the three pictures). And then it was time to get to work! Here are pictures of each piece:
 


So, that's how I get started! It's been refreshing to see these bright colors...I've been working on Americana-themed projects for the past three weeks....so the only colors I've been looking at are red, white and blue. (I'll share those soon!)
