I recently went to a bridal shower and gifted my friend a portrait I made of her dog.

Another attendee of the shower asked if I would make one of her soon-to-be daughter-in-law for HER bridal shower. Of course I said yes! This project was so fun. As usual, I learned some great lessons and new skills that I’ll carry forward into future work!

If anyone has any suggestions on how I could improve, that would be fantastic. I know something I’d really like to work on is building a better frame.. right now I’ve just been using shoe moulding…which is okay but obviously not like, super nice or fancy!

My friend was having her bridal shower and I decided to take this photo of her dog and make a portrait for her and her husband-to-be!!

This was certainly one of my favorite projects so far. I almost gave up right at the beginning… cutting the face was hard and I felt like I wasn’t doing as well as I could. I’m glad I didn’t give up. It still turned out how I pictured it, and I think it still captures the dog’s essence!
