I have decided to open up an Etsy shop - initially I will sell some of my photos there but will eventually move on to handmade items for the home and to wear/accessorize, as well as baby/child toys and of course cat toys. But I have to build up my stock first (photos I have a lot of, the other stuff, not so much yet).
Anyway, I was trying to come up with a name for my shop and wanted to give a nod to my Willow. Racked my brain out because all things "Willow tree" and "green Willow" (because I plan on using natural fabrics and repurposing items as much as possible) were taken. So this is what I came up with (hand drawn - tweaked and colored on the computer):
This is just my prelim design. The cat will be smaller and I'd like to extend the tree root to where the cat is sitting on it. You will notice that the cat's tail is curled, as are the tree branches, naturally. We still want to plant a curly willow tree as a memorial to Willow but haven't gotten around to it yet. Just so you know, I'm doing better than I was the other day. It was just one of those days (or two) you know? I'm sure a few more are going to come in the next month and a half. [/img]

Oh Tina, that is so cute!!! I really admire your creativity!
Could I make a teeny weeny suggestion?
Use the Willow font!
or...
I would also keep the kitty the size you have here, I think it's perfect!

Re: A nod to my Willow - my logo
Thanks Traci...
I'll try it with the Willow font, but honestly...at first glance I'm not sure it will fit with the flow-y, organic look of the font I used. I'll be sure to post one with it if I do though!
This what a lot of fun, and rather comforting. I felt Willow was there inspiring me
