Inspired by the first pregnancy of my sister Elise, I wanted to share a few pieces of art that celebrate motherhood!
One of my favorites is this precious needle felted wool mama with her toddler. Adorable!
I also love this portrait, When She Held Her Child. This isn’t exactly a drawing…these are made by inking yupo paper and cutting them into layers that are set up in a miniature theater, and then photographed. You can find out more about that process at her blog.
Created with blue and green brush strokes, this watercolor is a beautiful silhouette of a mother and her infant.
These are all fantastic gift ideas for mothers, and are especially nice for baby shower gifts!

Interestingly enough, I made a treasury a week or so ago that included two of these pieces (the felted mother and child and the “When She Held Her Child” portrait). Mine was inspired by my own pregnancy.

Lol Melissa that’s cool! I’ve had the first two in my favorites for awhile!
