Because my granddaughter and her family live three thousand miles from us, it makes showing love in other ways difficult. How many times can you heart someone on Facebook?
I recently became interested in doing miniature portraits and paintings on gold leaf. So I went to Cassidy's FB page and looked over all the wonderful pics she had been posting of her and Luke. I really liked this one so I copied it and projected it on my computer to work from. This was the result. I gifted this to her at her wedding shower and she loved it. Turns out that the photo was a popular one and she had used it on the special wine bottles that were gifted to members of the bridal party and family.
I love doing these. The total size for the entire piece framed is 8" x 10". I can work from any photo you supply as long as it is clean and clear. Old black and white photos lend themselves nicely to a beautiful antique look as I paint them in a warm sepia tone on the gold leaf. These make wonderful anniversary or wedding gifts. Wouldn't you love to gift your parents or a favorite friend with one?
