A New Door Sign

My eldest son and his girlfriend needed a door sign for their student apartment. I decided to create a papercut sign for them, with their names, in Hebrew, in the centre. Of course I added my signature little bird as well.
I hand drew my design, which is made up of foliage and seed heads, then scanned the image and flipped it, before printing it on a piece of Textura Recycled Bright White Card.
I am sharing photos of the piece as I cut it and as their names emerged from the card.
Hila, my son's girlfriend, likes natural colours and seems to favour a pallet of cream and beige, so I backed the piece with a dark beige backing paper. It is mounted in a 13x18cm lightweight picture frame, which could easily be stuck to their front door.
Nadav and Hila were delighted with their new sign. They have since told me that every person who has seen it has complimented them on it!

Agreed! Normally student facilities are plain and impersonal. This personal touch is important.

Looks like a very thoughtful and useful gift. Love the natural colors although the black and white are striking too ...
