I originally used a more distressed font for the dates, but was over-ruled. I'm still really happy with the results, and this is always a fun project to work on. I actually cut-and-pasted the heart to the doilies, then went outside with a lighter and went to town on it: burned it, stomped on it, ground dirt into it... Mary P.

I'll post sketches soon!In the meantime, this is a project I've been working on, a logo for the Seattle Housing Levy. I started off with some blockier concepts, but they indicated they wanted something softer and brushier. I spent most of yesterday painting little people in my sketchbook with india ink, which was actually kinda fun. Mary P.

Anyway, I'm playing with a few different options. This is the more graphic solution, probably with a simple type-treatment. I drew all the ornaments in Adobe Illustrator. The style is obviously retro-inspired.I'm also working on an idea that will include the lyrics to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", a carol Mary P.
