This was the existing sign, backed into by a big truck.

Here is the glorious after, delivered today to one happy Sportsman.

I did all the hand-lettering (including the wonky kerning) [Frown] and Stevo carved the pheasant with a Dremel. Then I got to paint it and antique it.
-
Sign is made from 4x6 SignWhite, and the bird is made from HDU. All paint. $600.
Love....Jill

That's sweet Jill!

Fantastic colors also.

The truck hitting that sign was a blessing in disguise.

Peace out,

Jill -

A beautiful piece - but I have one comment.

You're work is worth much more...

You are super-talented -- don't be afraid to ask for more. You deserve it - and you can get it.

Much nicer Jill.

I have to agree with Dan on the pricing, however I understand the difference between what they pay here vs what they pay there, but perhaps with a few more jobs like this in the eyes of prospective customers and you will be able to get much more for future work.

Keep up the great work sistah!

Jilly,
You really have to retire the "coro Queen" moniker. That is one really nice sign.

I'm looking for the 3-D gun and fishing rod too!
Great work Jill, and a nice subtle approach to replicating the original shaped sign on a rectangle.

Great improvement Jill. I bet the customer was thrilled! And you got to hand-paint too!!

Crackin' Job Jill-Love the colours and the use of the odd shape

( kinda weird in the first place- but I bet they got used to it)

I love to see the befores and afters,- It shows off your talent far more than just the finished sign.- I should do my Portfolio that way.
