Friends of my eldest daughter just had a baby girl, and my daughter asked if I would do a name for them. I know Clara's father, and have met her mother's parents, and thanks to Facebook I've even seen Clara!
It's 8"x10" so they can pop it into a ready-made frame if they want. I began with an acrylic wash in three colors. For the letters I used cardboard cut-out scrapbooking letters as stencils. Then I did a pencil string over the entire thing and went at it with pens in various colors. I finished with pencil shading in various colors and a bit of white and pale blue on the letters.
