Brachot Achronot

I am now making a Brachot Achronot (blessings for after eating snacks of the 7 species, baked goods and grape products) which I hope to print and sell. I first roughed out the lettering on graph paper. I then cut and pasted the lettering on another piece of graph paper until I am satisfied with the way it looks. I decided to use a more elaborate design around it. I'm thinking of having the 7 species in the design. I drew the design on tracing paper.

I am using a heavy watercolor paper from my stash. I drew guide lines and wrote in the brachot with black suni ink. I then transferred the design to the paper. Next I used black ink to outline the design and then started painting using gouache.
