old canvas advertising curtain
I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this. There are a few of these gems gracing old halls around Saskatchewan. This one is pre 1923, although I couldn't find out the exact date it was done. I have close up pictures of the individual panels if there is something anyone wants a closer look at.


I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

I think it was likely all done by one fellow, although he attempted to spice it up by putting different letterstyles and varying the slant on them. We were at an anniversary party, and what I though was extremely funny was my 23 yr old son and my husband studying the curtain and commenting on the little nuances used to camouflage negative space. I guess it's rubbing off.
