Vintage Airplane Wooden Growth Chart

Saturday, November 2, 2013

Swooping and swirling up the chart, the vintage airplanes are a fun addition for your son's bedroom.

 

The wooden growth chart begins as unfinished pieces, each laser cut here in Missouri. The background of the chart is then painted a medium slate gray and given navy blue hash marks for every half an inch.

Next, the airplanes themselves are given their overall colors of navy, tomato red, and light blue. I then add in their wing colors and accents in white, light blue, dark gray, and dark yellow.



The puffy clouds are a white and pale gray gingham, outlined in dark gray, and then the edges stitched with navy blue.

Lastly, I paint the stitched flight paths for each airplane in white.

Personalization is free. Chart markings can be done in centimeters for a small additional fee.


My vintage airplane growth chart has flown across the United States and even into Canada and overseas to the United Kingdom.

To order your own custom handpainted growth chart, see the vintage airplane style in my Etsy shop or contact me for a new style to coordinate with your child's bedroom decor.

Other growth chart designs are on my website and in my Etsy shop.

*Note that the airplanes are also available as quilt clips, wooden wall letters, name signs, curtain holdbacks, wall plaques, peg racks, and more.

Star Quilt Clips

Sunday, June 3, 2012

Did you know that my star quilt clips can be painted in any color?

I can also paint them in contrasting colors or even add stitches or distress them to better coordinate with your child's bedding set.

A happy mom sent me this photo of my stars with her son's all-star quilt. These are a lipstick red and match perfectly with the bedding, bringing out the red accents for his room.

Stars coordinate with many different bedding themes, including celestial, sports, transportation, teddy bear, and more.

I handpaint each one to your specification, but I am also happy to send you a set unfinished so that you can paint it yourself.

Visit my website at www.littleelephantcompany.com to order a set for yourself today!

Jungle Jill Quilt Clips

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

The jungle and safari animal theme is one of the most popular themes for nurseries, and there are many different style twists to the theme. Jungle Jill by Carter's is a feminine twist, incorporating popular shades of pink as well as some girly flowers in the precious animals.

For this set, I had the monkey, elephant, and zebra all laser cut. The elephant started with a soft apple green body and a basil green ear. I then carefully handpainted the white flowers, dotting the centers with bubblegum pink.

The zebra is a white with fun bubblegum pink stripes and fuschia accents. And lastly is the monkey in iron oxide brown with a country twill face. I finished her details with a cream and country twill striped belly, bubblegum pink on her ears and feet, and a bubblegum and fushia flower.

Would you like your own set? These adorable jungle animals are on my website individually so you can create the set that best suites your tastes! Here they are:
Note that the Jungle Jill animals can also be used for wall letters, a growth chart, curtain holdbacks, a hair barrette holder, a name sign, and more. If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me today!
