Baby Shower Art

Maria, Cindy and Kathy threw us a couples baby shower on January 6th at The Mad Potter. We had such a fun time!! Each couple or individual person got to paint a star tile or square tile or do a mosaic and we'll use the pieces that everyone made as artwork for the nursery! RJ mentioned wanting to put all of the pieces onto a toy box, which I think is a great idea, but I'm worried about it being too heavy! What if he can't open his own toy box? Wouldn't that be sad?

Star tiles, top to bottom: The fish tile was painted by Steven. Doesn't the orange fish look like Nemo? The "Is Born" tile was painted by my Aunt and Uncle visiting from the Philippines. Basically, the jist is that "A Star Is Born." The Harry Potter tile was painted by B and Neha. They definitely win the most original award! The T tile was painted by the newly engaged Cindy and John. I know the T stands for Tang, but I also see it as Thi, Cindy's real name...hehe, she's leaving her mark on the nursery!

Square tiles, clockwise from top, center last: The We Love You Tile was painted by Auntie Alice and Auntie Melissa. The elephants were inspired by our nursery's theme and the card they got us, notice how the baby elephant is holding onto the Mama elephant by the tail...it's the cutest! The baby tile was painted by Lizette. Lizette is definitely the person you want to call when you go painting at a pottery place, she has her own brushes! The quadrant tile was painted by Josephine. I liked the patterns that she picked for each quadrant, I had a hard enough time thinking of only one thing to paint! The stenciled elephant tile was painted by me. Yes, I am jealous that Melissa and Alice's elephant tile came out better than mine! The smiley face tile was painted by Carolyn. This tile just makes you want to smile back at it.

Mosaics, clockwise starting at fish, center last: Emili did the fish mosaic. She was the last one to finish and when she did, everyone started clapping! The turtle was made by my parents. There's an RT on it, I guess that means that he have to name the baby Ryan, if not, then this turtle is meant for me! Jessica and Ken did the car mosaic. I'd like to point out the chrome rims, I'm sure that was Ken's idea. The gecko (not geico) was made by Kathy and Arthur. Hopefully he'll be the only lizard in the nursery. Maria and RJ did the picture frame. Should we put a picture of Maria and RJ in it or the baby? ;)

Don't all of the pieces look great? I think that everyone did such a great job on them and I love how everything is so personalized. Thanks everyone for coming and spending time with us!!!
