Christening portrait
Above: Portrait of Baby Ciara, cradled in her mothers
hands. Roman capitals for childs name (decorated with gold foil), brown italic hand
for text details. Written on cream Pergamenata Italian paper (mock vellum) and
framed with a dark pink Indian handmade paper. Piece measured 15 cm x 21 cm (A5 size).
Left: When I came to
frame the piece, I decided on a paler pink mount, to match more closely the word Ciara
(written in versals, and decorated with gold foil dots). The mount was complemented by a
thin, dark brown, wooden frame. |
