Custom Monogram




Occasionally, I finish a custom order and it turns out better than I expected. I'm never sure exactly how things come together. Sure, I have an idea, a sketch, a plan... but I never quite know how it will translate in the final product.


In this case, I used acrylic on canvas board, sealed with varnish. The giraffe pattern is paper that I incorporated into the design. The basic premise was to create a monogram canvas using turquoise, orange, lime green, brown, and a giraffe print.

Here we go again...

With any luck, I'll be better at updating this blog in the future. In fact, I think I will add that to my list of New Year's Resolutions. And unlike some of those resolutions (Caffeine, I'm talking to you), hopefully this one will stick.

So, what has been going on since I last posted? I suppose the better question is what hasn't been going on... But with the holidays behind me, I'm hoping to build up my inventory and paint a few things to decorate my new house. Stay tuned...
