Bayou Buddies PreK Ministry Logo




Can't help myself - drew another turtle.
Didn't make it into digital form though...

I've been struggling with this logo for a while. It's a good kind of struggling, of course, but you know sometimes things just don't come together quickly and you have to wait until things start to flow. Well, thankfully this week ideas started coming. Here are some of the sketches I did in prep and then an image of the proofs I'm sending. Alligators are hard to make "cute". I didn't give this one any visible teeth, though I wanted to. Anyway, on with the images, right?
Here's one of the first few gator sketches -
it was too grown up for the preschool logo so I put it aside.


Here's the concept they liked most.
So, after a lot of sketches and some head scratching, I ended up with a wooden sign type thing with a gator on top. I thought putting the frog peeking around the side would be cute. I'd have to add some of the usual swamp grasses and such and maybe that dragonfly I did and see what it looked like so a few hours later I ended up with...
Here are three proofs. The wood fence that's in the preschool area is the standard privacy fence, so I did a few that looked like that as per the minister's request. I know that gator eye on the right isn't quite the same size as the other, but although it could be an easy fix, I kind of like it. What do you think?

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
