A new design for a greeting card in the Little Bird of Paradise shop!
A little mama out for a walk with her (Oh so cute!) little baby :)
I feel it would be a perfect congratulations card for the happy parents of a new baby boy or new baby girl.
I am so happy with the way my new illustration comes out once printed!!!!
I tried to do something a little bit different and I love the result! I got the inspiration for this drawing back in France when visiting a Cistercian Abbey in Flaran. In a little room, there was this splendid little wooden statue (of a Saint I believe ? - I need to go through my pics again..). It was so delicate and so touching I immediately knew I wanted to try to transcribe it on paper. And I am very glad with the result :)
To take a little break from the Christmas cards, I have decided I would work on one of my little girl illustration. The original drawing was made using oil pastels on paper. I scanned it and reworked it very slightly and then printed it on a very thick (300 g) A4 watercolour paper. It was a little bit tricky to have the printer accepting it, and then to print straight but in the end, the result was really worth the effort! That paper is absolutely gorgeous with such an interesting texture, the print is beautiful :)
The only step now is to find a nicer frame for it and a place on my wall!
