  1. Is this a font

    Yes it is. But I can't remember the name of it!!! It's slanted more than usual. Love....Jill
  2. Cool Beans!!! New Signs101 Merchant/Sign Chick/designer in our midst

    Thanks for the shout-out. I still need to get organized, make a logo etc. :) I'll be offering basic layout design. Think of me as being an old crusty sign guy to whom you hand off your info. Like an employee who doesn't stink up your bathroom but is snappy and reliable. Love....Jill
  3. Bought a plotter, software, and vinyl. Wondering where to start?

    Sounds like you need to head to your nearest race track. Race car guys love free signs, especially like to order them at 4pm on Friday for that big late model race at 9pm. Sometimes they will even give you a case of beer and let you put your name on their car.
  4. looking for designer

    I'm setting myself up as a Merchant Member, offering basic sign layouts. Nothing fancy just simple easy to read snappy stuff. Love....Jill
  5. Jillbeans Happy Birthday

    Thanks. IT'S CRAIG'S BIRTHDAY TOO! Happy birthday Craig! Just had a peanut butter/bread & butter pickle sandwich, off to letter a window. Then I am going to spend the day on the Allegheny on my son's boat with all my kids and grandbaby, floating with the turds. Kinda depressed about being 49 but...
  6. Hi from Dublin Ireland

    While I admire your enthusiasm I would be cautious of getting into the sign biz. Our market is saturated, the economy sucks, and it's hard to get a good price for quality work when other yay-hoos are selling signs by the pound. One full day of training is a drop in the bucket. You need to learn...
  7. Clay/Earthenware Glazed Sign - HELP!

    Are they just standard stock phrases like MEN WOMEN OFFICE PRIVATE etc? Maybe check out some sort of retro restaurant, office or renovation catalog site. I can't think of any names though. Love....Jill
  8. Fire Logo

    Totally agree about doing it in black and white first.
  9. 10:45pm are you still working ?

    No I read for an hour then I go to sleep. Sometimes the pug sleeps with me but honest there is not a jar of peanut butter on my night stand.
  10. Suggestions needed for black reflective

    Or you could layer an outline of regular black HP vynull underneath, which would beef up the letters and also aid in removal at a later time.
  11. Fire Logo

    Neither of these are that great but just trying a few ideas.
  12. 10:45pm are you still working ?

    I said I am in bed by 7:30 pm most nights. I didn't say that I was sleeping.
  13. Fire Logo

    No. Not with the prismatic font anyway. The contrast between the two colors (or the greyish black and the orange blend) really bugs me. Like when someone uses a prismatic font and makes one part yellow and the other part blue. If you are going to use a prismatic font make the tones on it look as...
  14. South Side Of Chicago

    Yup I keep thinking of Leroy Brown too. Welcome from PA. Love....Jill
  15. Suggestions needed for black reflective

    Use the 3M. The F-word sells it by the yard. Love....Jill
  16. 10:45pm are you still working ?

    Hahahaha in the OP coffee cup! I usually am done working by 5:30 every day and I usually try to be in bed by 7:30 every night. :) Love....Jill
  17. Thoughts?

    :Big Laugh
  18. Something everyone should read..

    I absolutely loved doing layouts in art school all by hand. Our teacher was a skinny old broad named Mrs. Ziegler, she always walked around with one arm across her waist propping up the elbow of her other arm, carrying a lit cigarette between two fingers and b!tching about everyone's poor layout...
  19. Some of our wraps

    Hmmm! Not too shabby. My fave is the police one but I like your shop one too. Love....Jill
  20. Gifts for your best customers at the end of the year

    One year I got hoodies (great service from D&T) But usually I just make and deliver cookies at Christmas. Love....Jill
