Mommy, Miki & Mini

Max the Monkey has made his arrival, June 16th, 2010!
We were very excited to return to Canada a few days following to meet the Miniest addition of one of my all-time greatest friends family. MAN! Is that little wormie cute!

For Max's Safari themed nursery, Coco & Co. created a three-piece gallery canvas set; painting safari babies with mom & dad. Two gray trunks sweep into the long 1.5x3 foot canvas with mommy & baby birds perched atop for a free ride. At mom's request, Coco & Co.'s monkey mama & baby swing on the 1.5x1.5 foot canvas. Lion-loving dad's request was fulfilled with the final canvas; dad and lion cub cuddling in the corner. By offering a 3-piece set, parents have the option of arranging the paintings in several patterns or placing them throughout several 'key' spots in the nursery; crib, change table and read/relax nook, for example. Animal themes, especially those with bold colours, have the advantage of working well beyond the nursery years, as baby advances into a bigger bedroom, or needs a little sparkle in the playroom. Some parents have begun with one, and each birthday add another canvas with the same theme and colour scheme.

Gallery canvas differs from standard stretched canvas due to it's depth; it reaches 1.5 inches out from the wall, whereas standard canvas generally is 0.5 inches deep. Because the images wrap around the sides of the canvas, the gallery option gives the art more of a 3-D effect (as seen in the photo.)


As Max spends his summer cozying in with his family, we send our love & best wishes!
We cannot wait to snuggle you again!
