Family Tree

I designed this fun little treasure as a birthday present for my friend Kristin.  We have a bunch of nieces and nephews between us that have grown up as cousins and some of them were constantly asking how we were related.  Even though we met as adults and had no reason to assume that we were relatives at the time, we were thrilled when one day, through a crazy coincidence, we discovered that we were actually fifth cousins once removed!  Small world!

This hangs in our house and now when the kids come over to play, not only do they "think" they are cousins, we can prove that they really are.

I'm happy with the way this turned out and love the overall look and feel of the finished piece.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the text and frame are dark brown and the tree is a sepia.  Against the textured background the finished product has a little bit of a burned wood feel that is really cool.
