That's what little boys are made of.




Little boys. I just love little boys. Here are two prints that will soon be three. Can you guess what the third one will be?

I love nursery rhymes. I loved them as a kid, but even more so now. I see how they have helped Addie and Ian with their vocabulary. I just love hearing Addie walk around the house saying

"Little boy blue, come blow your horn..."
"Sing a song of sixpence..."
"Lucy Locket lost her pocket..."
"Polly put the kettle on..."

Most of these rhymes have a tune, or if I didn't know one I made one up. Nursery rhymes as well as Dr. Suess have really helped my children to learn new words. I love it!

So, I will be offering TEXT in these images. But as always, it is an option. But I really do hope that the text is kept. I just love to see little ones learn new rhymes!

And also...DUN DUN DUN...I will be offering 4 hair colors and other background colors with these prints. I get so many requests to change the hair color, etc. that this time, I am just going to make it an option at purchase. Black, brown, red and blonde. This way, every little boy can see himself in the pictures. The third will most likely be out tomorrow...but my "boys" have been waiting so long for their grand entrance, and just couldn't wait any longer! Enjoy!

I just love the way you're combining silhouettes with your illustrations - these are beautiful and so unique! I really haven't ever seen anything like them!

I really like how you've mad the boys 'pop' by using the silhouettes in the background. And I love nursery rhymes too!

Wow, they are perfect. As soon as I saw the pictures I wondered if it would be possible to request a different hair colour. So I was very excited to then read that you have already thought of everything and will be offering this. Love the Nursery rhyme idea. You are so very talented.

you said guess the 3rd rhyme:
"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of." is that it? or do you already have one with that rhyme?
So cute! (as usual). always enjoy seeing your new prints!

Sarah these are lovely! And who doesn't like a nursery rhyme - especially those that are a little less known. An enthusiastic yes! to your new designs.
