Little Fairy Sisters


Once upon a time, there were two adorable fairy sisters in Shanghai...
...who won the Coco & Co. gift certificate at the Annual Shanghai Mama's Picnic!

Have I mentioned that I LOVE my job?
Not only do I get to paint dreamy art for wee ones all over the world, I often have the privilege of sharing tea parties & show-and-tell times when I go to meet their folks for portfolio meetings. I assure you, these two tiny fairies did not disappoint! After a tour of their royal pink quarters, I was introduced to loads of their treasured toys and was treated to a tea party!
(Lovely spread, Angelina Darling;)
The eldest of the two fairies was even so kind to share a baby book with my growing bump;) How sweet!

To match the decor, we decided on a palette of primarily pink with pops of purple and blue. Each scroll is unique (sisters need to be seen as individuals) but fit together side-by side (..and sisters want to be treated equally!) Their names on the banners are curly, girly font by specific request. These tiny girls have a real flair for style!
Cotton candy diamonds fill the backdrop and satin ribbons are tied at the top to complete the whimsical pieces.

I truly love how kids treat newcomers like old friends;)
Thanks I & A for a smashing time!

Little L (a lotta cute in a little package!)



Little L is about to be a Big Sis!
To commemorate such a cool job, mom has ordered a little something for L's own nest, here in Shanghai. To be honest, her room is already a blast of pink perfection with gorgeous white furniture that gives L's sleep space a crisp, clean edge. So creating this Big Sister Scroll was a piece of cupcake!

In order to compliment the white furnishings, the finial ends and wall brackets tie in with a solid, smooth white finish. The canvas scroll hangs 2.5 feet long by 1.5 feet wide, adorned with a creamy name banner & curly central "L" in fuchsia-coloured font. Each end of the banner is 'bunched' with wildflowers; watermelon & white Stargazer Lilies, alongside tangerine poppies. A dainty fairy with purple petaled dress stands beside the large "L" while turquoise, fuchsia and purple dragonflies swirl around the banner tails. Large white and bubblegum pink diamonds dot the background and finish the piece off with a royal trim.

Sending lots of warm wishes to the Big Sis-to-be as she preps for the family's latest addition!
What a lucky little newborn on the way!

Once Upon a Time...


...in a castle on a hill, lived two little Princess sisters; Keira & Brookie!

These scrolls were designed exclusively for the Savelli sisters of Ancaster; two tiny fairy tots with big eyes and pretty smiles. Inspiration for these scrolls was certainly not a difficult task considering the highest quality of cuteness that resides in their home.

The backgrounds of the girls initial scrolls are painted pink diamonds adorned with sparkly sequins at all of the points. Keira's initial is lavender with pansies and a pixie in a petal dress. Brookies art is pink, white and yellow all over; daisies, roses and a fairy tot sliding down the letter B. Each of their names are written in script on a banner; bunched at the corners with ribbons and flowers. The bottom edges are cut in diamond scallops.
The Castle is the centerpiece scroll with two S banners (Savelli Sisters) hanging outside the drawbridge door. Candy-coloured flags wave in the breeze along with a whirl of butterflies and sparkles. To frame the corner, a patch of daisies and roses lie in the foreground.

These were fun to create and I am sorry that I have to give them away now.
Thanks to the Sweetie Pea Savelli sisters for letting me take part in the decor of their playroom;)
