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

I love this Holly! So very precious.Great work:) Deidre~

How sweet, I love this idea!~~Dorothy~~
We say that to each other everyday…except we always try to one up each other and go farther…Mars…Jupiter…Neptune…I love it!
I love this mural and quote…so adorable! I use piknic occasionally and they are closing in April so I will have to check out ipiccy.com Thanks for the photo site suggestion. Have a wonderful day!Lisa
That is so sweet, I could die!!! Great job.
Holly, great mural! As usual, loving your work. I'm very new to blogging and your site is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.I just added a post inspired by some of your work. Check it out!!Thanks, Natalie
So sweet!!! You are a busy gal…Love what you do…Blessings Lori
Very clever – you've done a beautiful job !
This is precious Holly!
I have to copy this for my daughter to read….she's thinking wall mural on the new baby's bedroom wall and this is a wonderful tutorial. Thanks! xo wendy
Now that is just pure talent. I could never do something like this. Very cute!
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. 🙂
I love this. So adorable. I have Ippicy on my list to try. I will have to move it to the top.Laura
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.
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
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
