This took me awhile

I found this really cool Marimekko print. It is really expensive because it is designer fabric from Finnland. I decided to use my limited photoshop skills to get one of the animals from the print. I'm sure my brother and sister-in laws could have done a much better job (they both know photoshop inside and out). If you guys read this, I would be more than happy if you gave me some photoshop tips for going about something like this.

Here is the original pattern.


And here is the elk I took from the pattern. His legs look a little lumpy...But that is insignificant considering how long this took me. The resolution of the picture was really low and the edges were really blurry, so I had to go around all of the edges and sharpen them.


So what are my plans now that I have a Finnish elk? I'm going to iron it on to one of these.



Anyway, that is my ultimate plan. Let me know if you want one for your kido or a friend's!

So cool Hils! Makes me want a little guy so he could wear one :) So...about being nervous...BELIEVE ME, I was in the same boat! I had many little panic attacks before Macie was born but then she came and it was all okay :) You'll be a GREAT mom!
