Cat in the Hat Mural

[finn's mom]

Wow, I'm impressed! I can't help but admire your patience, creativity, and extraordinary talent. You did an incredible job!

Aw, thank you! Patience, for sure! One out of three's not bad haha.

I have never done anything like this before, and I did it well! You can totally do it!

I have already chosen a page from the same activity book that I got the Thinga-ma-jigger design from. It's an underwater scene with Sally and a dolphin! I'm not 100%, yet, but I really like it! And I LOVE how Clara says "doll-sin" haha.

Doll-sin, that's adorable!!

Yeah, I don't think they'd let me paint on the wall at work though. Since we don't own the space, we only rent it. Bummer....

That is awesome!!
I want a mural on this one huge wall we have at work. Everyone laughed at me when I said it. But I think it would be awesome! It's the perfect wall for it. But I have ZERO talent. Even with tracing. LOL

I can't wait to see what you do on the other walls.

Be careful if you do decide on putting a mural on the wall at work, never to use copyrighted material like the Cat in the Hat! People have been sued for using some else's material to 'profit' their business.

That is just fabulous!! What a labor of love.

What did Clara have to say about it?

I know I read that a lot of places won't even copy copyrighted stuff, but wouldn't there be a copyright on the image being used? There wasn't anything on the image I used for Clara's mural, so I felt comfortable using it. How can you tell if something is copyrighted? The only thing I saw in the book I used was on an advertisement for "the Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot about that" dvd ad in the very back. I know in this case, you're not referring to a private home . . . but I'm still curious!

She says hi to the CAt and the fish ("sish") all the time!

Never hurts to ask. I know most rented houses or apartments let you paint, as long as you paint over it when you leave!

This is so cute! I bet Clara absolutely LOVES it. I know I would have at her age .

[Bonny]

The Cat In The Hat is one of my favorites & I want one in my room too. That is a really cute wall mural & you are very talented.

Wow, that is awesome!! Good job, the finished product looks so professional! Is Dr. Seuss one of Clara's favorites?

[finn's mom]

Thanks you guys!

Is Dr. Seuss one of Clara's favorites?

Yes, ma'am! That's how we chose to decorate her room, so she's surrounded by the characters and books. And I let her watch The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That on PBS.
