A fishy sign

Post by Pat Welter »

Pat has been fishing.
Another Christmas client sign is complete and ready to go out the door. It is clear cedar with Bert's recess carved, the raised fish is carved from HDU and airbrushed with latex. The rest is 1shot painted on top of Nazdar clear.
The sign is 2 feet tall by 20 inches wide.

Creativity is allowing ones self to make mistakes. Talent is knowing which ones to keep.

That's a tad bit nicer than decent!

In fact, that's down right beautiful!

Nice work there...and it looks like it was fun too!


Me....got myself into something bigger than I am.......
them projects with a lot of steps...each one raises the stress level a bit....
I'll make it through....always do, don't I ?......

Merry Christmas!
