Page 5 of 10 The Panda and Flower Pictures Kennedy's room has a framed picture of a panda. Mitering miniature picture frame molding is not high on my list of accomplishments. However, the miniature room has to have a miniature version of this picture. So here we go. I started with the image that Chris and Tracey have on their Kennedy website. Using Paint Shop Pro (Photoshop disappeared when my hard drive crashed and I haven't located my installation CD) I reduced the image of the picture to a miniature size. After trimming the miniature image, I mitered the miniature picture frame molding to create a miniature version of the panda picture.
There is a picture of a flower in the nursery, too. I am not sure which wall the flower is on. So, I decided to recreate the flower picture in miniature and place it on the other side of the window. Using Photoshop, I used the picture on the left as a start and then cropped a small part of the stem area and added it to the image to make the entire picture. As I did with the panda picture, I framed the "matted" picture of the flower with tiny picture frame molding. The last thing I need to do before "hanging" the picture in the room box is to fill in the gaps at the mitered corners and re-stain the corners. As I said, I do not do mitering well.
Wall Art To date, and according to Chris, nothing has been placed on the wall over the crib. Be that as it may, I utilized my creativeness and decided to use the "whirligig" characters as wall hangings. The company that makes the real nursery motif does have these as wall art. Using a picture of these wall hangings, I reduced them down to what I felt was as close to scale as possible and printed on clear stickers.
