Preserving Children’s Artwork (Part II)

I had to add some images of this snowman drawing that Eva made. I digitized it and embroidered the design on some hand towels. See my recent post about preserving children’s artwork. This time she had me make some changes after I scanned it into the computer (she wanted to change the hats) and she picked the thread colors. We’re going to give these to the grandparents.

Also, I had another thought about children’s artwork after watching Eva get super excited about these rubber stamps from the small object. You could turn a drawing into rubber stamps! I think a simple line drawing would make a fabulous rubber stamp (and a great stocking stuffer). Here’s a site that can do it. The customization feature is not totally user-friendly, but you can see your design after you upload it.

And I love the idea of making your child’s drawing into a stuffed animal. Here’s a nice example from Fruit of Her Hands:

    Super cute ideas…when you digitize and image and then embroider are you using a machine to embroider or by hand? I’m currently looking for an embroidery source for artwork similar to you snowman towels. I have too many to do them by hand any suggestions?
