    Everything is hand-painted except for a few vinyl bits on the beer sign.
    Check out all the rivets on the farm truck!
    The auto body sign was painted for the first meet I hosted in 2000.
    The barn was my first experience with dry-brush "antiquing" (easy!) & high scaffolding (scary!).
    Museum sign is Sign Foam- layered & gilded.
    Window is from last week…spilt a quart of white paint on the guy’s blacktop parking lot.
    I just put IOAFS on my sign so it looked as if I belong to a union.
    Thanks
    Love- JILL

    I O A F S …
    At American meets we say this…an old Letterhead thing.
    It could mean…”International Order of Fabricators & Signpainters”
    But it REALLY means “It’s only a F***ing sign!”
    Didn’t yins know that? HAHA
    Thanks for posting, Robbie.
    Love- Silly Jilly 😉
