Georgia on My Mind

Or, at least on my sign.




I've been making signs for my Etsy shop, and I wanted to make something for my own home.  (Click the "signs" label on my sidebar to see them all!)  Though we live in Mississippi, my husband and I are both from Georgia, which will always be home. So I thought a "Georgia" sign would be a nice remembrance of home.



For this sign, I used the same techniques I did for my numbered clip sign.

The only difference is that for this one, I used one stencil--for the lovely wheat design on either end.




I used a gel stain, which seeped so nicely into the scuffs I etched (by dragging them across cement!) into the corners of the board.




Very country, very casual. 




Like us.



 Has Georgia ever been on your mind?

  8. My sister lives in Georgia, so it's often on my mind. She migrated there 15 years ago and may never return to New England (boo hoo). Your sign is perfect!
