Hello dear Steemians... how have you been?
I am glad that I finally managed to find time to update my blog again. _
The weather is getting better and our little princess wants to play outside all day long and I have been working on my garden too. That's why I had not much time left to write anything for this blog.
Especially since I need to continue decorating our little imp's room too.
My goal is to finish this project before her birthday comes.
You can see the progress of my project in the following pictures.
The colour of the same pictures may have a slight difference. It's because the picture were not taken at the same time.
Sometimes it was taken during the day so that we have a natural lighting from the sun and sometimes the pictures were taken at night when we got a warm lighting from an LED lamp.
It's painted directly on the wall using water colour, whereas the right side of the blackboard ===>>> the cute 2 little hedgehogs are drawn using Polychromos coloured pencils. Polychromos pencils are oil based coloured pencils.
The colour is actually more beautiful and bright, however since it's in a small size, so it's less showy. I know the proportion and the materials don't actually suit to each others to be put together. However I don't want to mix it with the summer section of pictures so let's just put up with it.
The most important thing is: our little one loves it LOL.

This is the left side of the wall, where I also put the autumn forest drawing above the crib.
On the wall is a silhouette of a beautiful fairy writing the first name of our little princess in javanese old letters.
Yes, true. The Javanese folks actually also have their own letters, they derived from Sanskrit..
However unfortunately.. the young generations these days may no longer know how to write with it.
I'm not even sure whether it is still properly taught in the school in Central Java. Probably in Yogyakarta the people might still have concern to preserve this skill but I'm not really sure about another Province in Java.
I am also wondering if the Balinese people are still proficient in this.
Frankly speaking, I also only know how to write and read the normal letters, but if you ask me to differenciate between capital letters and the more complicated rules in writing, I am no longer proficient either.
Our baby has two first names. The second part is indeed a Sanskrit name, but the first one is a modern one but coincidentally rather simple and represented well in our letters, so I don't even need to convert it into Javanese.
I can write both name directly using our traditional letter.
The last picture shows the master piece of our little Kobold. Well, to be exact they are collaboration of the little princess and Mommy. ^_^ She has her own sketch notebook which is nearly full by her scribbles. I just torn few of them to hang on the wall. ^_^
Ok, that's it for today and see you again soon in my next post.
Thanks in advance for your upvotes and comments! <3
