Miranda Mueller, an Austin, Texas native, is a children's book illustrator and magazine artist who creates fine art gift items for parents, babies, and the people who love them. Her nursery artwork is adorable and totally unique, as you can see from the above creation she made for little man. Each piece is created personally for each specific baby and each is an original, created to match the baby's nursery room, personality, etc. You provide the details, and Miranda will create a beautiful piece of art for your baby.
Each piece is customized to your preference. Miranda pairs up your baby's name with a cute animal or two (you can suggest one, or she will happily offers a slew of great suggestions) who share the same first letter as baby. She works with colored pencil on tinted, recycled paper, and can also add embroidery to the borders or letters. Big block letters and bright or pastel colors are fascinating to a baby and look terrific decorating baby's nursery.
The process is simple. Clients contact Miranda with the child's name, and she quickly responds with animal ideas and 3-4 sketches to choose from. Once sketches are approved final artwork is delivered within days of payment. Fans of her work hang them in nursery rooms, over baby's changing table (the colors and animals entertain baby), give them as baby shower gifts, or use them for birth announcements.
Her gallery of artwork can be seen on her nursery art web-site. She recently added a new choice: fabric collages with appliqued/monogrammed letters using fabric or materials from your child's nursery. She also plans to offer custom-designed, sewn appliqued pillowcases and bibs that match her artwork for a great nursery theme of your choice. Stay tuned for a 10% discount in coming months as she expands her business, and in the meantime, visit Miranda's etsy shop at FlyingPanda.etsy.com
Buy it! To purchase your own artwork for your baby, visit Miranda's lovely site. Rates start at $35 for a 5x7 and $50 for an 8x10. Art is shipped unframed anywhere in the USA. Miranda is currently offering 10% off a $50 gift certificate, and she accepts paypal and personal checks.
