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.
