I have recently posted a diagram of this sign that several of you have helped critique as it was planned. Now it is finished and hangs with pride. Each side shows a different type of carve . One convex and one concave. I'm sorry the photos don't show that real well because of lighting issues when the photos were taken. The colors are dark navy, bright teal, ivory and of course gold leaf. The Dragonhead is cast iron, which was finished with bondo for smoothness and then normal gilding proceedures. It is 4.5 feet wide and about 6.5 feet in height. I have over a 100 hours in it. Materials, Dibond back panel, HDU outer panels, 3D components and framing. 23 K gold, One Shot enamels mixed to color.

really nice Jack!
colors are great!
Thanks for sharing the pics and the info on your hanging system.
Also I really enjoyed your eagle artwork. I love doing oils on canvas. I just dont have the time anymore with the 2 jobs and helping to raise our kids.
Keep up the great work!
