Come up and see my Etchings.

Dog 'etchings' were apparently popular back in the 30's.

My relatives and I must have seen at least 20 of them this weekend 

while antiquing in Chicago.

Among them was the one I have which reminds me of my beloved, Jack.

 My brother in law and his wife were looking for one of a spaniel,

similar to their new puppy.

but didn't have any luck finding one.

So I made sure I got a picture of their dog, Lila,

and, while I'm no artist,

I have an app for that!

 I also tried the app for their cat, Lily.

(Yeah, I know ... 

not too original in their choice of names 

and they, as well as the rest of us, 

get them confused all the time!

What can I say?)

I'll keep playing and experimenting

but I suspect one of these options 

will end up being a Christmas present!

Might even try printing them on parchment paper 

for an aged effect.

Next up?

Trying the apps that make them look like paintings!
