Blog: Dodo Vintage Furniture and Gallery: NEW GALLERY SHOW FOR VALENTINE'S
I can share this now!
My latest commission, it was to be a surprise! a valentine present for lovely Lisa's husband.
It had to have birds, on a map of London, and of course the heart design I use a lot, and the names of all the members of the family.
A challenge? yes and a fun one!
I send Lisa off to talk "birds" to her husband to find out his favorites!
Then my fun begun! I set out to find Bee Eaters, Hornbills, Kingfishers and Audubon Flamingos and in doing so learnt a great deal from their habitat to the sound they make! Finally found a map of London and adapted my design to show a few key places meaningful to Lisa and her family.
She loved it! They loved it! I loved that they did! it was revealed on Valentines day and a was great success.
I really enjoy doing commissions, sometimes it is easier to create from someone's wishes than from ideas in my head!
Well, here we go!
Finally, my very own blog !
More to come very soon once I found my way round blogspot!
