Seussical Charley

Our baby girl due in February is having a Dr. Seuss themed room so we thought it would be fun to create Dr. Seuss letters for her wall.

I found some great letters for $6.99 each at Michael's. They have holes at the back so they can each hang on the wall without showing the nail/hook.

First my wife, children and friend painted the letters a solid colour.



 Next, I painted different Dr. Seuss characters on each letter. I did 4 letters one night and 3 the next. It probably took around 6 hours total.






 I'm very happy with how they turned out. We may add a glossy finish to the letters to protect them.

They will look great in Charley's room with the Dr. Seuss painting I did in 2011.


Firetruck

My son Quinn (age 5) loves firetrucks. His Minecraft poster was recently destroyed so I thought we could make a little piece of art for his wall. I did a quick painting of a firetruck and had him help with the fire and road. We did this painting (2' x 3') in an hour. Not bad and it'll look cute on his wall.
