Some of you folks have asked to see photos of the people that you see here as Caricatures. This is usually difficult because I receive many photos in many forms of dress & expression from which I create the design that my client has requested. However, here I have taken a favorite photo of my dear Husband …& added stacks of books & an item or 2 to show a few of his many & varied interests!
This should show you all another way of creating a design sure to become a treasured family heirloom.
