banner love


thanks sfgirlbybay for her "shout out" on her banners we love post!

my banner re-do's are my only creative outlet it seems lately, and it's cool to get feedback.

(for those of you interested) a little background on this vintage felt pennant. it was one that hung in my siblings room when we were younger, with the name of our hometown across it. i just switched it to poppy as i loved the thing, and it related to what i'm finding aesthetically pleasing these days (mid-century fonts and illustrations). that's usually the push i need to make a new banner. i see something i dig and i want to somehow bring that to my banner design. so whenever you see a change, its a design trend i'm leaning towards or want to learn more about.

I meant to mention earlier how much I love this banner - & for it to have a history for you makes it that much cooler.
