It's a Noah's Ark that a friend of Mom & Peter's made - Jason Snape is his name I believe. The most fun for me has been picking the matting and frame. I went to a frame shop here in town http://www.underglassframing.com/ with this print and my PhD diploma - long since overdue for proper framing. The owner, who helped me, immediately commented on how lovely the diploma's font was, which endeared him to me. A true letters nerd like me!
We looked at orange and purple mats, but nothing was fitting perfectly until I suggested we look for a more whimsical frame and we found this one, which sort of picks up on the clouds. I *love* this piece and feel like it'll grow with the baby and be a fun and lovely addition to our house for ever. Also, the covering is high quality plastic, not glass, so if it were ever to fall, it wouldn't break. Baby-proofing in an earthquake zone is a different experience!
