Treble Clefs on the Town (Silhouette) - Music Clip Art (SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, PNG, JPG)

I doodled this image in my church notebook a few years back. It's so much fun that I had to include a vector illustration in the Etsy store we started at MakingMusicFun.net last month. 

It's two treble clefs all dressed up and out for a night of dancing. 

You can download this happy couple on Etsy.com:

I'm continuing to build out the new Etsy Shop with illustrations. I understand you need to try to post something everyday to get things going, so I'll be sharing more in the future.

Most of the illustrations so far have been from MakingMusicFun.net products. This one is a new one that's exclusive to the Etsy shop. I was up late last night and decided to try a squirrel holding a nut. 

I like the way he turned out. I hope you enjoy it too.

Swing Daddy-O (Jazz Double Bass) - SVG Cricut & Silhouette Cut Files, Clipart and Vector (DXF, EPS, PDF, PNG, JPG)

About a decade ago my wife and I attended an incredible Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (a swing band) concert at the Ventura County Fair in California.  When I got home I designed this image.

At MakingMusicFun.net, we've decided to try to get a little more mileage out of the effort I put into the illustrations by listing some of them on Etsy for crafters.

I'm always learning something new, so the original design looked like it need a little sprucing up. Here's the final version that we added to our Etsy shop.

John Williams - SVG Cricut & Silhouette Cut Files, Clipart and Vector (DXF, EPS, PDF, PNG, JPG)

 At MakingMusicFun.net we've been creating free popsicle stick theater production videos for major composers a little over a year now, including videos for Beethoven, Mozart and John Williams.

In an effort to get a little more mileage out of the effort I put into designing the images for theses videos we're listing some of them on Etsy for crafters and classroom teachers.

Music classroom teachers may enjoy using these images for posters or manipulatives. Crafters may enjoy making a t-shirt for their grandchildren/music enthusiasts.

I've been creating images for MakingMusicFun.net products since 2007. The products sell well, but we wanted to get a little more mileage out of the effort I put into designing the images so we're listing them on Etsy for crafters. Maybe someday I'll be bopping around town and see this little guy on a t-shirt.

The first one we added to be added is Wise Owl.

Baa Baa Black Sheep - Sing-Along Kids Song + Lyrics

I've been making popsicle stick puppet videos for awhile as a fun way to teach kids about our great music composers. With sing-along videos performing so well on YouTube I thought it would be fun give that a try too. 

Baa Baa Black Sheep is the first sing-along video out of the chute. I did the artwork and animation. Next turned in over to a really talented voice-over actress to sing the song and add a couple character voices to the middle section. They're hilarious!

Lyrics for Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep, 

Have you any wool? 

Yes sir, yes sir, 

Three bags full. 

One for the master, 

One for the dame, 

And one for the little boy 

Who lives down the lane.
