This piece caused some difficulty because I wanted the sign to stand out, which normally would be the area of most contrast, but of course the sign has to glow too. I went through several iterations before I decided to try what worked: cutting out a second layer of orange-red paper to make the glow sharper against the painted background. I couldn't find exactly the right color paper, though, so I ended up "printing" my own paper for the task. In the end it worked perfectly! I'll have to try this technique again in the future.

Pike's Place
Since I did the Space Needle last year, I thought I should do the second most iconic landmark in Seattle as well: the Pike's Place sign! The design took a super long time because I had to get the letters and angles just right, but in the end I'm very pleased with it.
