hooray for happy clients!

i always like to hear that my clients are happy with their purchases. this particular client sends me a list of items she'd like for upcoming birthdays/events, etc. she knows the drill by now - what i'm going to ask, what details i need to know - and then i go to town picking out colors and quotes and embellishments.

this request was for a frame for a "5-year-old girly girl" who is full of energy and fun. since i was most definitely NOT a girly girl, it's a lot of fun to play around with pinks and purples for these kinds of requests!



this frame was fun - made for a little guy who is obsessed with Marvel Super heroes - Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. i had a hard time finding spiderweb embellishments (guess they are only really popular around Halloween) so I hand-drew the spiderwebs.




this request was a tough one. the frame below was made for a 7 1/2 year old boy named Jack who is fighting Cancer (Neuroblastoma) for the second time. "Jack loves playing guitar and thinks he's a rockstar - his favorite band is 'All American Rejects'" i chose the word "Believe" for two reasons - one obvious one is that Jack has to Believe that he's tough enough to beat Cancer again and also because the "All American Rejects" have a great song with that title.

i hope Jack likes his frame and puts a cool picture of himself rockin' it out to one of AAR's songs! in the meantime, i'll be putting Jack on my prayer list that he does in fact find Courage and Strength to defeat Neuroblastoma again.
