For days and evenings spent sketching and painting as Holiday orders start rolling in!
I love those wonderful customers who order their custom Christmas gifts before the holiday rush sets in!
I just finished sketching and painting three custom ornaments for one customer - they will be going into the kiln tonight, along with an engagement and baby portrait ornament.
I love the sense of fun expressed in this wedding portrait. The couple is on a football field and you can see a school in the background. This setting obviously holds a special place in the hearts of the bride and groom. I would love to hear the story behind their special picture.
I adore this little girls hat, which is probably as tall as she is. An outline pen is perfect for outlining the painted portraits.
For this engagement ornament, I had to crop together a couple of different photographs to create an image of the couple in front of Disney Land - where they are set to be married come March 2012.
Now...off to the kiln for the firing process. If you are interested in seeing more custom ornaments, or in placing an order ~ just click here And thanks for stopping by!!
Love the personalized ornaments Cathie! I should get a head start and get some for the new babies in the family! XOX
