PBK Cottontail Friends

I first painted a duck and a rabbit to coordinate with PotteryBarn Kids' "Cottontail Friends" bedding several years ago, and they were so very cute.

But last month, a mom wanted a little lamb to go with the set as well, so I steered the creative juices into lamb painting...and ended up with such an adorable set for her.

Here is what I did:

The duck is my usual duck shape, but I painted it a pale yellow with a cream wing. Then, I mixed the honey brown with pale orange to get the orangey/brown beak. The little stitches are in nutmeg brown to accent the little guy.

For the rabbit, again a regular shape (but it's almost gone, so then I will have to get it custom cut!), I painted it toffee brown. It's ears and nose are light pink, and the tail is white. To see his feet and ears better, I added black stitches.

The lamb is a custom laser cut shape that works well with many different lamb bedding themes. His overall color is a cream, and then I added his toffee brown legs and face. I outlined his head in white to differentiate it from his body and added white stitches around his body. The insides of his ears are light pink.

Thank you to Lenore for sending me the picture of the quilt hanging! I love to see my creations all set up in their new home.

And don't forget that nearly any shape or theme can be done in wall letters, growth charts, curtain holdbacks, name signs, and more!

Featured in Tot Trends Weekly!!!

Yes, my 9 inch letters have been featured in an online magazine...Tot Trends Weekly, December 14th's issue called "Make it Personal."

This is so exciting!!! By 8 a.m. this morning, I already had a retailer's request for information on carrying my line.

How was I chosen to be featured? I had actually sent information about my quilt clips, but after looking at my website, Tot Trends Weekly wanted the 9 inch letters for the particular issue they were putting together. So they requested a sample of my work, and I created a set of letters particularly for them.

KIKI is created in pale pink with a mod ladybug motif. Colors also used are bubblegum pink, light green, sage green, cream, and burnt umber (dark brown). This design is 10% off in celebration of it being featured this week!

Rainbow Fish

Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister is a classic and endearing story of a fish who learns to share. This set was quite a challenge! I meticulously painted each and every scale, shadow, and squiggle. Each fish has layers upon layers of color and shiny silver.

Love Bug by Kidsline

Finally! New posts! Yes, It has been over a year and a half, but in that time, I have created a myriad of new designs and several new products.

So to start off, I am presenting my latest custom design - a 6 petal daisy and a ladybug to coordinate with the "Love Bug" bedding by Kidsline. The main colors are a pale pink and a dark brown, with just a touch of bubblegum pink in the flower centers. Every ladybug dot and flower center is a seperate piece to give my designs a layered look that really stands out.

Watch for new postings to showcase my unique handpainted designs! Is there something you would like? Please email me at info@littleelephantcompany.com for an estimate. Remember, almost any design can be made into any product!
