Yep! Yet another super cute and adorable handpainted growth chart! This one is made to coordinate with the Arctic Babies bedding by Cotton Tale Designs.
I started off with the background being chambray blue, a pale grayish blue. I then added the black night sky on the top two-thirds of the top board and then a teal for the dark ocean on the bottom two-thirds of the bottom board.
Next, using the back end of my paintbrush, I tediuosly dotted every white polka dot, carefully lining them up in the black and scattering them randomly throughout the chambray blue. What's the Arctic without snow? The polka dot snow is what really added detail and finished off this piece.
Each of the animal shapes is laser cut specially for the Little Elephant Company. The polar bear is a pure white with black and gray details. The penguin is black andwhite with a pale orange beak and rust orange feet. The whale is black with a white eye. (See below for close ups of each animal.)
Lastly, I added black stitching for the whale's water spout and behind the penguin. The measure marks and the nail cover are in the rust orange to tiw it all together.
Would you like your own Arctic Babies coordinating growth chart? Please email me today! I am running a good 4 weeks on handpainted items, so don't wait too long to place your order. Remember that I can also do the polar bear, penguin, and whale in other coordinating room decor...wall letters, quilt clips, and more!
