As a director of a wedding venue, I know a wedding is a 3-part process: planning, living out your amazing wedding day, and capturing the memories that last a lifetime. I constantly pour my experience into our couples, and now I want to share that with you. Some pretty awesome stuff goes on around here. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me.  ~Jen

Completed! David of @luckybdesign said, “It was a really cool little project with some technical aspects. Trying to replicate the company‘s logo, which was painted in watercolor, with One Shot enamel. It’s all about “faking it” to get the desired look, As enamel is thick and not much for blending. Anyhow, really pleased with the outcome, and the customers are thrilled.” Yeah we are! Can’t wait to drive it around town. 💕

So far, so good! I love the process of art making. Working in enamel paint is pretty unforgiving. It isn’t like acrylics or oil, which can be thinned. And, it is nothing like watercolor, which is how our flowers were created. It gets tacky and must be done in layers. @luckybdesign is doing a beautiful job. It will certainly have that hand painted appearance when it is completed tomorrow.
