Painted Signs, No Skill Needed!

I have no decorative painting skills, so making signs is something I generally shy away from....But wait, I think I found a way to paint signs...No skill needed


I found this siding laying on the curb it was from an old house in downtown Orlando .  I stopped my car and loaded up as much as I could.....Wish I had taken more!  I've used it for different projects off and on the past two years and this is the end of it...Sniff, sniff!

When I decorated the Store Window I made a sign to hang on the arbor and it was the first thing that sold. 


So, I thought I would make a few more to bring to the Fancy Flea November 2


Some were stenciled....


 ....And some were made with the "Blender Pen Transfer Method"  You can find that method HERE at Graphics Fairy along with 11 other transfer methods


Now, I have no decorative painting skills, but wanted painted signs.  So, I printed out the words using a font where the letters had open spaces (Academy Engraved LET) on my Mac....


...Reversed the image and applied it with the blender pen


Then I used paint and a small paint brush to fill in the letters



TaDa...A painted sign.....And no decorative painting skills needed!



I price my signs between $12 and $16...Why the difference in price...
It is all based on do I like it or not!  

Does anyone else use this very precise form of pricing?

Happy Creating
