Baby in Liquid Color, Hand-Lettered Word Art

The word 'Baby' is drawn in chunky, wobbly black-outlined letters on a white background. Each letter is filled with swirling marbled color in blues, greens, yellows and oranges. A small yellow spiral sits in the middle 'a', and the 'y' ends in a long curling orange tail.

A stranger is stopped by the word itself: 'Baby' in chunky, wobbly black outlines, each letter poured full of a different swirl of blue, green, yellow and orange that looks like liquid glass. It reads as a hand-made word, not a font, and the loops, the small yellow spiral inside the 'a' and the long curling orange tail on the 'y' give it a personality that a generic nursery print lacks. It suits someone who wants the wall to say 'baby' in a way that is bright and a little unruly rather than pastel and predictable.
