Great job! Well done!!

[Shane Drew]

Brilliant Jill, but we’ve come to expect that from your work 😉

Thanks for sharing

[Les Woods]

Wow – that is fantastic work! That’s a real talent you have there – I remember using Play-Doh years ago and all I could make was a rather shoddy ashtray. :lol1:

[Martin Cole]

Excellent job Jill, as always! your a clever little thing!

Also the shadow around the lettering is superb.

[Brian Maher]

😮 classy job jill…well done 😉

did you airbrush the shading on the flower??

[Mike Ennis]

Jill,

Superb work. I’m new to the board so haven’t seen any of your previous work yet. You say the sign panel is hand painted; is this how you do the bulk of your work or do you also digi print? I know it’s not the same but you could have made the flat panel as a digi print and then brushed a UV liquid laminate over the top. Wouldn’t this have been quicker and you still would the "crafty" look of the brush marks. Digi print like vinyl can look a bit clinical but the hand crafted roses would really soften that.

Regards, Mike.

Ummmm…..
Why digi print when it is so much FUN to paint?
Cost of materials for sign…nothing….paint…maybe $10.
(board was a scrap from a previous job)
Time to paint, excluding drying time?
It took me longer to cut the pounce pattern than to paint the maroon!
I’d never buy a digital machine, and if I would need a digi print, I’d sub it out to a pal.
And to me, from what I’ve seen, paint is so much nicer looking.
There are no pixels in paint.

As for the roses, I painted those with 1" foam brushes and a small real brush for the details. I don’t own an airbrush either.

Thanks for the comments!
Love….Jill

Great job Jill. I wanted to echo the best bits of what you said, but it was all spot on so I quote the lot! Read it and weep, digi boys and girls :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Jill,

I certainly agree that hand painted work makes the job look more organic and human and your example certainly shows that. I’m a great fan of Signcraft magazine and when I read through the articles part of me is inspired and the other part humbled.

Presumably the EZ mould dough would need to have the same coefficient of expansion as the substrate. With small lengths it probably won’t make much difference but I wonder how it would cope over time with longer lengths on say acrylic or aluminium. Any pointers on the product info Jill?

Regards, Mike

[Carrie Brown]

Fab work as always Jill, you are indeed very talented!! 😉 I like modern signs but love seeing work from the more traditional peeps like yourself …. dont get to see it much around here.

Here is thier website:

I bought my kit directly from them, as they have no distributors that I could find.
I could have gotten by with a smaller kit but was afraid I might screw up.
It cost about $145 for the two-part two-gallon kit.
The salesman assured me that all would be well.
Since they use this stuff for fake trees in monkey cages, I think it can handle the Pennsylvania weather.
I don’t think anyone around here will pee on it tho!
I couldn’t see any other use for me with it on signs as this was a very specialized one. Usually I just add dimensional elements with HDU.
love….Jill

[Stevo Chartrand]

What a beautiful sign!!! It’s got just the right amount of elegance and class with a nice clean look! VERY well done!!

Digital Schmigital is what I say!! 🙄

[Lorraine Clinch]

As echoed by everyone else Jill, top class work.

[Brian Little]

jill that looks amazing …well done 😀 😀

[Robert Lambie]

i really like that jill, top notch! 😛

i love the flowers creeping around the side….

as for sign writing…
hell i thought i was gonna burst into tears trying to paint at the scottish letterheads meet :lol1: :lol1: so much harder than i thought….
i think it takes some real talent to be able to achieve what many of you traditional folk put out on a regular basis.

thanks for taking the time to post your work. 😉

[John Simpson]

a job to be proud of, well done Jill.
