Aren't they great? Believe it or not, this is her first real painting project! And she did it all free hand! Way to go Jessica!
Actually, this would be her second painting project. She also painted ornaments for her co-workers at the university where she works, with their school logo. That emboldened her to make the above ornaments for her in-laws and a family friend.
The WJU one is the logo of the university she and her husband Brian both graduated from a few years ago.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and West Virginia University bulbs are fine for personal gift giving but can't be sold. Why? The respective teams own that logo, and they can't be used for profit without the owner's giving permission, and without the owners getting a cut of said profit. Lots of crafters do it anyway, but if they were ever caught, they would be in trouble.
I did a post on that subject once if you care to read it. You can see it here.
Jessica also made a gathering apron for her new sister-in-law Katie:
Katie loves aprons, so Jessica decided to make her one. Isn't it pretty? The reason it's called a gathering apron is that it's long enough to pick up by the bottom corners, and gather produce, or eggs, or whatever needs gathering, and carry it in the apron. Clever!
Kevin and Katies wedding colors last summer were purple and orange. The purple waistband is a scrap of fabric that was left over from the wedding. Love it!
