Penguins for Sonja

For as long as I can remember my grandmother has always loved penguins, she had penguins on her checkbook, calendar, and a painting of them hanging in her hallway. Last Mother's Day when she saw the earrings I made for my mother, she requested I make her a pair as well. Naturally, I thought penguins would be the right design for her.
Instead of repeating the same design on both earrings, I decided to doodle a whole family of penguins. I'm so used to working with a lot of colors (I can't help it, I like rainbows) it was interesting working with a more limited color pallet. Overall, I like them, even if they don't perfectly match, they look like they belong together.
Hopefully, my grandmother likes them too.
