First off, Holy Cow it's cold! Like windchill below freezing cold and sleet last night before bed cold. Perfect day to stay inside and...work on some wedding signs! Too bad I have work during the day though.
I've always been into the calligraphy/handwriting/art thing. I used to take art lessons in middle school, and at one point had a calligraphy and paint set. Things kind of shifted and I focused in another direction in the athletic world, so I never really got to "fine tune" anything. And then chalkboards and chalkboard signs became a "thing," Pinterest blew up, I got engaged, started gathering signs and practicing, and Devon caught wind and then asked me to do her wedding signs, and so sparked a hobby that was once long gone.
One of my faves ^
One side of the drink menu and supper menu (Babe's Chicken, mmm!)
Now the struggle is finding something that I like for April. I kinda started several but lost focus on what type of colors and look I was really going for. I have all of the sayings in my mind, but most of it's jumbled all together and I can't make up my mind (siiiigh). Some of you may have seen the sneak peak I posted a few days ago regarding one of the bigger signs that I found at First Monday in Canton:
I'm most excited about this one, because it's going to be a focal point of our guests before our guests get to go sit (may have just given away the saying). Now if I can only find matching shimmer sharpies in the colors I need besides gold, that'd be great. If you need signs, or know anyone that needs signs done, I'd be more than happy to get some practice in! The colored markers can be washed off so it's not anything permanent on the boards. I think I'm also going try out Christmas/Holiday themed signs. Those are always fun and can be re-usable each year! Might post a separate post one for all of those, some are still in progress, but have been entertaining to say the least in the improvising department (old eye make up brush works JUST fine on some things!)
HO HO HO!
