Calligraphy: DeAnda Family Name

May 22, 2012
Last night I lettered this little name plate. The client wanted something similar to what I did for the Hardisons last year. Unfortunately for me, I was two strokes shy of completing the artwork when a brush of mine rolled over the artwork and left smudges in its wake. ARGGHHH!! So I had to start over. The bright side of having to start over that late in the project, I tend to make improvements on the old layout and I tend to do it a lot quicker. Has that ever happened to you? When you had to start completely over on a project? I'm really happy with how this turned out. And I keep meaning to make one for our little Esplin family, but I have yet to hang up any artwork in our place, let alone make artwork for it. We're working on buying a house, so we may be moving again. It's so exciting, but it completely destroyed my motivation to make our house "cute".
