Thanks David !

Obviously I played around with posting pics
after I emailed you and was finally successsful.
Glad now that I learned how to do it. Thanks again
for your efforts. Had you not offered I probably
still would not know how to post pics.

The oval was a gift for my wifes birthday.....
sandblasted with goldleaf.

The other sign was my 2nd sandblasted sign
in which I was paid. The close-up shows the
TC RESIN ( SignShine, now I think) effect.

All of these signs as well as the "Stitch" sign
are a reality as a result of the sharing that goes
on this board. Thanks again to all of you who have responded to my questions. Your unselfishness has been a blessing to me !

And last but certainly not least, thanks Steve and
Barb !

life is good.

the famous Mark Fair calling
me "buddy".

yea Mark....speaking of the type face and
weight of "Beth's Garden"...well that was
another tip I picked up on theBB by using the contour in Corel. The font just wasnt "heavy"
enough on its own.

Those antique signs you and the others are making are beauties...gotta find some time to try that technique out. Come to think about it, that might be a good technique to use on the sign for the "clubhouse" I am building for our 2 sons.

ricky, i don't call just anyone "buddy".

after all the word "buddy" is slang for the word brother.

i mean that word sincerely, your work impresses me, thus you must be a "brother" of the craft.

as far as me being famous, i don't know about that.

maybe for the wrong reasons i am "infamous" [Smile]

but when it comes down to it, i have a love for this craft.

i learn something everyday.

keep on keepin' on.
