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!

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

ReplyDeleteThis really is lovely. I like how you have designed, cut and created it. Perhaps I need to make something for my grandson's new university accommodation. Wishing you a wonderful 2025, and thankyou for visiting my blog last week.
