My Artsy Name Tag

I'm preparing for my trip to Mexico and the art retreat in San Miguel de Allende called Pilgrimage in Paint with Katie Kendrick and Judy Wise, organized by Rebecca Brooks.  Five of my best friends (Sally, Lulu, Jan, Diane, and Cindy) are all traveling with me to attend the retreat and to travel around Mexico to soak up the culture, the folk art, festivals and history.  It will be one of the most wonderful trips I've been on because I'm going with these amazing women that I just adore.  There is nothing better than art, photography, creating, travel, history, beautiful towns and great friends.

So here is my start: my name tag.  
We are all making one to wear down there,
 and I plan to use this at my future art retreats too, so it will be well loved.
There is a pocket in the middle for little findings or Milagros.

BINGO~! Janet, once again my friend, you have hit the jackpot in art. Your name tag is perfect, and is already being loved from Texas. The colors you used on the tag with the perfect orange neck ribbon, and the pocket to boot no less....it's the total bees knees, as my grandmother used to say when something couldn't be improved upon. I'm counting the days until I see you wearing this gem! Love, Cindy

Janet said...

Cindy - you always make me laugh and smile. There is something about you and your Texas sayings that I just love! I'm glad you liked the orange ribbon - its the zinger!

Thanks for all of your wonderful comments! I had fun making this up with its sketchy/graffiti style! I will report back about Mexico!

I absolutely LOVE it, Janet! All the colors of the Janet rainbow! And a pocket to boot - brilliant idea! Might need to add a pocket to mine...
