I'd be interested to know which one sprang to mind for you. Three years ago it would have been that too-skinny other half to Brad. Now, in this house at least, it is a dancing mouse.
Anyway, I am working on some art projects for Mia's room, and I'm trying to indulge us both. She looooves Angelina the Ballerina and showing off her "moves." I came across this book at St. Vincent de Paul, and it is amazing. It's seems to be almost designed for those seeking to teach themselves ballet. Now I'm a do-it-yourselfer to the extreme, but spending a few months working up to my very own Grand Rond de Jambe en l'air (terminating with renversé en dehors) is a kind of intimidating. So we're using it for some little girl room art.
So what do you think: a series of framed prints, or one big poster with several moves? Colored background or white with colored drawing? Here are a couple examples:
Hope all is well in your sewing rooms. I am trying to keep mine closed for sake of those drapes. So far, so good.

This is so cute. I love this idea. What a great idea to use pictures from books to create artwork. Mis is going to love it!

Would Will like some ballerinas for his new room?

That book is pretty neat. I like the idea of one big artwork with the white background (assuming light colored walls like I have), but I also really like the idea of several smaller items placed around a room and packing a big color punch from the colored background and white diagrams.
I got here from One Crafty Place looking for (I think, I forgot after looking around and finding your terrific clothing patterns) a way to make bathtub crayons for my niece's 2nd birthday next month.

Also, the mouse was the Angelina that came to mind first for me. :)
