    Posted by Jill Marie Welsh on January 12, 2005 at 8:09 pm

    Here are 2 recent jobs I’ve done using a technique of faux
    (or fake) marbling. The theater signs have a perimeter of it,
    complete with veining. The Robinson Run sign is a bagged
    finish with no added veins. Both have HP vinyl lettering.
    It’s a nice way to add percieved value to your work
    with only pennies in paint. And ANYONE can do it.
    Rob will have a demo of this soon.
    Love….Jill

    Steve!
    Love yer globes, dude.
    Those are some high-class signs.
    I love the Stevens alphabets too.
    I always root around and find the alternate “r” tho.
    Marbling was the perfect addition to your signs.

    The greenish one of mine is for a housing plan,
    the dreaded map/info bla bla bla thing.
    Just trying to add some pretty to it.
    What I love about the marbling is that you can “deepen”
    the dimension just by the way you arrange your tones.
    It IS fun, too.
    My fingernails are still green 2 days later tho. 😳
    Love…..Jill
