Wood Reception Sign - Houston Calligraphy

This custom wood calligraphy sign was created for an event where my client wanted to honor a loved one that is no longer here for an upcoming event.  I thought that this was a beautiful sentiment.  This wood plank was roughly 11" x 14".    I had it stained and then I calligraphed it.  Staining and such isn't really my department.  Trust me, you want it that way :).  

Ever feel like "this is missing something".  That's how I felt after I finished with the calligraphy.  I walked away from it to work on another job.  Then I came back and decided to add a little illustration for a little "something more".  My client loved it as she was only expecting calligraphy, but she was quite pleased with result which in turn made me pleased as well.  Cheers!
