I had my photographer friend take a photo of the page in this classic story book.
She then hooked her Mac up to her projector and placed the image reflection on the wall in the size we wanted.
I traced the photo image with a pencil.
(pencil sketch image from ipiccy.com)
I then painted the sweet image with craft paints to match the book. I used my shading techniques that I learned in art etc… =)
The words were printed from my Cricut on sticky vinyl.
Look what else I did with ipiccy.com

Definitely a great piece of work sharing of information is really fun, isn’t it? I’ll come back to read more of your work.www.n8fan.net
Well done! The projector technique is brilliant, Holly! I think you have given DIY-ers the idea of how to create wall mural by themselves. I’m sure your babies love seeing those rabbits on your wall. It’d be really fun reading the classic book under this work of art. Clinton Hurlburt
That is so awesome! You are truly blessed and talented. I would love to learn how to do all this. I can't wait to go through some more of your blog.
I love this. So adorable. I have Ippicy on my list to try. I will have to move it to the top.Laura
Would not even attempt this but what a great talent you have!! Also, I really loved your post of the coffee antiqued urn. I am going to try this on my resin urns. I am so ready for spring. 🙂
Now that is just pure talent. I could never do something like this. Very cute!
