A Mixed Media Lullaby

A few weeks ago I made a small mixed media canvas for my niece who is expecting her second child and first baby boy.  Actually, she just had him this week and he is adorable and tiny.  I sent her package off this week too so I can finally share the project here with you guys!  This was such a fun piece to make.  I enjoyed every bit of it so much and I hope she likes it too.
