Day 6 Challenge: Baby Onesie

This wasn't originally on my list of 23, but I replaced "start a scrapbook" for it.  I had received a few cute hand painted baby onesies as a gift and thought that it would be fun to make the baby one myself.

Going along with the lion thing I started by making a sketch of what I wanted the design to look like.  It took me a couple tries before I drew a design I liked, but finally I came up with something I was happy with. 

Translating that design with paint on fabric proved to be the true task for me...

Painting really really isn't my strong suit...and on top that it's been awhile since I've painted really anything.  My lack of skill mixed with puff paints that sprayed and what not made me feel like maybe this project was just going to end up a big mess and a bad idea.

I kept at it though--determined to finish the day with something I was happy with, but was very cautious not to mess with it so much that it just turned into a sloppy mess.

Overall, this has definitely not been my favourite project, but I don't think it's the worst either.  What bothers me the most is that it doesn't look close enough to my pencil sketch.  It's not bad though and Terrance likes it, so I'm happy.  I'm sure Julian won't complain. <3
