My Whimsical Granny

My Whimsical Granny - sketch

Color pencils on butcher paper - approx. 8"x10" - July 2013

I'm so out of practice that it's embarrassing. I didn't even get close to catching her likeness. I fudged on the hand, didn't do a nose - just erased the first few attempts. Didn't help that the source photo was blurry.

Anyway, this is my maternal grandmother - probably somewhere in her 40s. Mom said that she was asked who told her mom to get into the wheel barrow and she said that it's likely that she got in there herself - she was just that kind of person. I will forever remember her as the woman who beat me at checkers without the least bit of mercy (her toothless mouth laughing as she relished the victory), loved Campbell's cream of mushroom soup and knew just about everything there was to know about quilting.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .
