Personalized Bridesmaid Gifts

I've added another new listing (link here) to the shop this week (ahem, last night)!  While I have offered this in an informal sense, few people have taken advantage of the opportunity, so I decided to make a listing dedicated to portraits—not just bridal portraits, but bridesmaids!

I mean, how fun is this?  A custom portrait for each bridesmaid—something that captures their individual personality while still giving a one of a kind gift to each of them!  This is originally what I used my OOTDsketches (taking a break for now because... busy. Super busy) as warm ups.

So, what are you waiting for?  Head on over and take a look at the listing!
Maybe you just found the solution to your "bridesmaid gift" dilemma?

Merry Christmas, Deer

This piece was both inspired by and originally created for my father-in-law.  I firmly believe (and I don't think that I'm alone) that there is nothing that he loves more than to go hunting, so obviously I had to incorporate something of the sport he loves into his Christmas gift.

The expression is also inspired by him.  This is about how it happens: he sits quietly while we run around decorating for Christmas and fussing about everything, while he just looks blankly at the extra "nonsense" until he can't help but laugh at us.

Another'n for The Books

Another book illustration—this one is called "The Book Fort" in my own mind.

Again, I intended to write some of my favorite book titles on the spines, but just haven't found the time to get to it.  It's not my best piece, so it's hard to motivate myself to set aside time to add small details like that. 

 

 

Maybe I will give it away to a friend and write the names of his/her favorite books instead.  Gifts tend to motivate me a little more!
