NOT Just Another Mom

With every letter I create, there seems to be a story that goes along with it. Some are more in depth and emotional than others, but I think it makes what I do even more heartfelt and meaningful. This one is for a special family. The heart and rainbow of colors represent their story…

I was honored to make a special birthday gift for a persons Mom. How I love making these beach scened letters… I make these letters with 1/2″ hand cut paper strips and carefully place them with my handy dandy tweezers until they resemble a beautiful beach sunrise…I love the creamy yellow background although sometimes in the pictures it turns out a little darker than it really is. I want to think that this would give someone a lot of pleasure looking at it everyday and thinking of the beach….Can’t you just hear the sound of the waves gently lapping and feel the gentle breeze tugging at your hair?

A sweet couple just received this in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary. It is an 8″x10″ quilled in several shades of gold. I love the shimmer of the shiny strips especially. They make such an elegant statement.

I had the opportunity to make a beautiful letter N using the colors maroon, brown, peach, and cream. I always love seeing how various colors come together. The person wanted those colors and a flower in the design. Aren’t these colors so elegant together?

I was asked to make a "C" for a couples first anniversary.  The customer asked for some pine trees because they enjoyed camping.  Because of where they lived, I wanted to make it special for them.  Where you ask? Wyoming... So I decided  to incorporate the mountains and a river, too.  I first outlined the letter C and then proceeded to fill it in with the background paper.  After I put that into place, I put in the outline and started  filling in the trees and the river.  Please excuse the desk... The white bowl is what I put glue into to dip the edge of my paper in before I place it onto the background.  Here it is completely framed...  Have a wonderful day!
