I see more and more artists mass producing signs and there is nothing wrong with that. They are using a wonderful method called SCREEN PRINTING ON WOOD. They probably realized how much time and work it takes to create and handmade/hand painted signs, and kudos to them for doing it and be able to sell the signs a little bit cheaper.
I haven't reached that point yet.....I still love to hand paint my signs.

So today I started at 8 am and just finished this sign! It only took 7 hours. It's big! 2 feet x 4 feet, and I always wanted to make one just like this. So after all these hours and complaining to myself how much time it took to make it, I am so happy with the results!

Nothing better than a hand painted sign! They take more time, may cost more, but they are all so unique!
ReplyDeleteHi Rita:-) I had to hop on over to see your sign in full view! It turned out great!!! I've been wondering if I should start stenciling my signs instead of hand lettering because like you mentioned...it takes hours!! I'm curious as to what screen printing is? Is it like a stencil? How does one go about making a sign that way? I'll probably keep hand lettering just because it's all I've ever done, creature of habit ;-) I think your signs are awesome and I can appreciate all the hours you put into them!!
ReplyDeleteYour sign is beautiful! I still hand paint all my signs. The ones I really don't like are made with stickers.
