I saw a thing on tv a while back about The Velveteria Museum in Portland and they interviewed a woman named Juanita who works in velvet...
I just had to track her down. Why??
I wanted to commission her to do a painting for me. Well today it arrived!!
Gerry had no idea what it was I needed some money for... I just told him it was something good, so he was VERY excited when he opened the package.
And found this amazing painting of our family. 
HOW FREAKING AMAZING IS THIS?? I got goosebumps when I saw it...
The detail is so fantastic and Juanita used sparkles to highlight everything... oh dear. My photos do not do this painting justice.
JUANITA! You are rad!! I love it.
A velvet Fergus!!!! Not even a velvet Elvis could be cooler than that. She does amazing work Sarah!

ReplyDeleteI need to go to Portland now, notwithstanding living in a far remote place within the U.S.
