I have been feeling the urge lately to make signs. I am not sure why, but I am going with it. I think it might be because I only have short times in my day lately to do anything artistic. I have lots of wood from an old fence and signs are my things right now.
Before:
I painted the boards with both chalk and milk paint and after they dried I started to put the words on them. I have a set of foam stamps of the alphabet, so I painted each letter and stamped in on the board. Since the boards are rough I do have to go back and hand paint the gaps with a small artist bush.

| Old fence wood with hemp oil ( it started the same as the wood in the background) |

| I used many layers on this sign |
 |
| My custom vintage green chalk paint |
 |
| I outlined the letters in black Sharpie! |
I am having fun making signs and experimenting with colors and letters.
