I finished another name sign, this one by request for my bud Genevieve.  I actually finished it over a week ago, but I delayed revealing it here until she received it in the mail.  Observe the results of my toil:

The letters were colored with good ol’ Crayola markers (both Classic and Bold Colors, if you must know).  The outline of the words and the background were all done with Crayolas, but these were of the waxy variety.  These “old school” markers are often referred to as crayons.

That “G” was kind of fun, but took freakin’ forever.  I squiggled the red into it and immediately went, “Why did I do that?  There’s no way I’m going to color in all those little circles I just made.”  I decided to at least go around the squiggles with the dark blue, but almost immediately I started coloring them in anyway, couldn’t stop myself from doing it.  I think it ended up being a two-hour process.  Here’s to determination with magic markers!  (Shouldn’t this say something overwhelmingly positive about my attention to detail and ability to stick with a task?)

Now I have to draw a giant bee for Melissa.  It’s been decades since I last drew giant insects, and most of those were destroying tiny cities and shooting lazers from their antennae.  I’m not sure how this one will turn out!
