I have distinct and nostalgic memories of being a little girl, laying on the grass in my backyard, or even at the school playground and looking at the sky and clouds. Often I’d hear the buzz of a airplane, and see a red prop plane fly over. For some reason, its a lasting childhood memory that makes me feel sweetly safe. I’ve come to learn that it is a surveying plane, taking daily runs over our city to monitor the oil pipelines making sure everything is running properly.
So its with a sweet nod to that childhood memory that I took this adorable little image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Little Pilot and coloured it up with Copics and coloured pencils. It definitely has a very Canadian feel in the layout too!
I used a cloud background die to add some texture, as well as some die cut and wood veneer stars to tie the themes together. The white rivets are added with a white Sharpie pen. The sentiment is from Concord & 9th and is layered on vellum.
Created for one of our favourite 3-year old’s birthday!
