I'm super amped about this one - very happy with how it turned out! It is 6x9 and features multiple jumbo patches of softball superstar Kayla Kindler! Her dad commissioned me to create this. Here are some pics, with a video at the bottom! If you want something cool created for yourself or a loved one, hit me up!
