Newest Name Signs

I do occasionally still make name signs. Mostly for family and friends. The top one is for my sister for the baby's room and the second one is for my mom for her growing list of Grandkids on her connected name signs.

I missed a few days due to travel delays and being glued to the Olympics. But I'm back now and ready to draw.

Look familiar?

My sister requested the drawing I did earlier when her baby was born. But it was done in a notebook with lined paper and I wasn't in love with the lettering at the bottom. So I re-drew it on better paper and re-worked the lettering. I'm much happier with this version. And this way she'll be able to trim and frame it in a 5x7 frame and/or use it as birth announcement.

And I just so happen to be traveling to see her and can give it to her and baby McKay in person. Yay!

Thought I'd try drawing a baby girl just for fun (and future use as I know my cute cousin will be having a girl very soon).

A bit of a different technique today. Same style, different approach. I just took a great online class from Stephanie Ackerman of Homegrown Hospitality and I was totally inspired to try the things I learned on my face drawing for today.

I had FUN with this little lady. Plan on seeing more like her.

I think it's safe to say I'm addicted to Prismacolor markers. They are so versatile and great to work with!!
