You are so clever and what a steady hand you must have. I had a go recently but traced the lettering to get the shapes right. The 'colouring in' was enough of a challenge for me! I shall look out for these signs when I'm over that way. :)<br />Jess xxJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593348601123003194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-17714029088791211422013-12-20T11:34:03.842+00:002013-12-20T11:34:03.842+00:00Gosh, those are gorgeous signs!Gosh, those are gorgeous signs!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674923395134039554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-16937303883398677222013-12-20T08:26:10.338+00:002013-12-20T08:26:10.338+00:00these signs have such life and movement; beautiful...these signs have such life and movement; beautifulPixie Dancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529756920894571544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-51927858211793179872013-12-19T22:24:30.794+00:002013-12-19T22:24:30.794+00:00A good sign makes all the differenceA good sign makes all the differencegzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-48791410729986535562013-12-19T20:57:22.168+00:002013-12-19T20:57:22.168+00:00Glad you make these lovely hand-painted signs.

I do graphic design among others arts, and I think people only imagine gaphic design as some computer thing (that's why I call it 'graphic arts' instead). Although I use computers, I still do lettering by hand. I have several 'fonts' I use that I made up; though I havn't yet developed them as computer fonts and probably won't. I prefer the appearance of hand letters anyday.

I would love to practice doing something like this, as they really do announce entry to another world, as Eleanor Alice said, and I love both the signs and the promise.earthandinkhttp://earthandink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-27603035772355062642013-12-19T16:01:04.109+00:002013-12-19T16:01:04.109+00:00Completely lively signs- and the overall effect is...Completely lively signs- and the overall effect is that of a metasign apart from the lettering informing the passerby "here is a portal to a magical place away from your everyday world".
