DIY - Pop of Red / Sea Horse Pillow

As I mentioned last week I have a 2nd red pillow case that I wanted to paint.

I know that I didn't want to paint another coral branch. So I looked for something else that would go along with the coral and I found this:

I thought hmmmmm.....Seahorse.....Seahorse? Yeah, seahorse!

Since this pillow case is darker than the first one, when I started to draw, it was so hard to see the marker lines and couldn't get the size right.

I then thought I'd draw a grid and then draw the seahorse.

Fail, the grid vanished faster than I could draw! Must have been the humidity in the air today.

Finally I just created a pattern on the computer. The pillow is larger than a piece of paper so I had to split it up in sections and then tape them together.

Using the stencil I traced seahorse onto the pillow.

Next came the fun and I had to paint fast!

I outlined everything first, to make sure I have my lines

and then I filled it out.

Stuffed it, and DONE! My fraction of the cost designer seahorse pillow.
