Christmas Ornaments

Last year for Christmas I decided to make everyone in my family a special custom ornament.  I found some super cute ornament frames at a craft store, and I'm a sucker for small things!  Only, I didn't know what to put in them!  So I decided to draw everyone as an elf and give them a personalized ornament.  It was so fun to see their eyes light up and the laughter as they saw their portrait Christmas Morning.

So this year I decided to open myself up to commissions for your very own custom elf ornament!  Do you have someone in your life who is an Ugly Sweater Queen?  A Grouchy Grinch? Or just a cute little Elf Couple?  All I need is a refrence pic and you get to choose the style of your portrait, AND it comes with a cute ornament frame.  Isn't that the best?!?  Now you will know for sure you got the best unique present that nobody else can beat!  Message me to get started or email me at sketchoflifedrawings@gmail.com

Mini's!

If you are anything like me, you see cute little things and buy them without having any use for them whatsoever.  Tiny toys? Check.  Tiny notebooks? Check.  Tiny picture frames?  Check.  The problem with those little mini frames is... what to put in them?  I don't know anybody who has the time to sort through all their pictures to find a perfect picture to frame and then go to the trouble of printing it out.  Thus you have to find tiny art to fill the frame - equally frustrating.

So I started to combine those two worlds - tiny portrait plus tiny art!  The mini portrait is a great way to emphasize a single aspect of someone, and also an easy way to get exactly what you want.


These tiny portraits can still pack a lot of punch, though!  Since they are so small I like to do a watercolor wash on the background; it really helps to bring more life to the picture.  And as always, they are completely customizable to what you want.  Specific color scheme? Head shot or full body?  Name? Accessories?  I can help you with it all!  Even the size is customizable on this one... 2x3, 3x3, 2.5x3.5 oval?  I can do it!

Email me today to get some mini portraits started - they are super cute and a great personal gift perfect for the holidays coming up!
