  1. Handmade Sign-What you think

    I like using a resin sign blank. I used to get the SuperStock ones, now when I need one I use Caravagio. There are a couple pix of them in my member's gallery.
  2. Hack for a pounce wheel CE5000-120?

    When I ordered my CE-500060 in November I did order the pounce attachment for an additional $98. It never came. Love....Jill
  3. My first time...be gentle....

    Yikes! I haven't the foggiest. Have you searched Dafont for handwritten ones which could be substituted? At worst you could tape it to a window, cover with a new piece of paper, use a Sharpie to trace, then scan in. Love....Jill
  4. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    That looks real purty, Steve. I love the curve. And thanks to all who posted pix. Now I am waiting for the customer to make up his mind. :)
  5. how is business so far this year

    I just re-opened on Monday. I had to turn down work for three weeks while I recovered from my hysterectomy. Saw that my one client for the past 12 years has a banner up that I did not make, but they called the day before I went to the hospital. Got two nice juicy jobs yesterday and three...
  6. Logo critique...

    Yup just because you can doesn't mean you should. There is not a lot of contrast. I avoid parenthesis on an area code or making it smaller, I like a nice even flow. Just because it's for a race car, and racers like a lot of bling, it should have more pop than it does. Try making the GRAPHICS...
  7. Weigh-Ins for the signs101 Losers (the good kind!)

    I am at 146 after the surgery, but when I put on my skinny jeans it was hell on the swelly belly.
  8. To All of the Signs101 Family

    There must have been something in the air yesterday because Matt was on my mind too. I have a pen from Penn Signs, he had put a bunch of them on the table as giveaways. I think of it as my "lucky" pen. Any time I have ever gone on a bid and I write it out with that particular pen, I get the...
  9. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Yes. But I hate mixing up greens! I invariably end up with something which looks like the diarrhea of a vegetarian. OK I stole your idea, and I think I like this one best. The dots are still burgundy but that's an easy fix. The gold you see is imi gold, I have a huge roll of it. :wink...
  10. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    OK what about the dreaded burgundy/hunter green combo? (I like the idea of moss green or even slime green but don't have anything like that in stock) The "For sale by owner" part got a bit shifted when I justified this. :thankyou: so much for all the helpful advice. PS Bob I think I'm...
  11. ID I think this is hand painted.

    Here are the two Atkinson fonts. The Rs are wonky.
  12. Sign related phrases, or one liners...

    My website sez "My business is making your business look good!" Pierre Tardif always said "You will make more money from this sign than I will!" "Ask me about a Sign!" (there was always a T-shirt in SignCraft which said that) "Get a sign and get noticed!" ...that's about all I can...
  13. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    OK no border, you talked me out of it. Better or worse? Maybe getting too Halloweeny.
  14. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Really? The more I look at it the more I really hate it. I think it needs a border, but that might be tricky due to the way the guy is installing it. Back to Corel! :)
  15. ID I think this is hand painted.

    LHF Hensler or one of Atkinson's alphabets from The Fontry: http://www.thefontry.com/atkinsonvol1 Love....Jill
  16. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Aw heck Bob, the guy asked me out when I was 15, was my brother's best friend, and I was not allowed to date till I was 16. You know I gotta give him some lovin'. I won't go into price in the open forum, but he quibbled a bit. Then I said, "Hey listen, if it sells the property for you, it's...
  17. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Here is what I drew up this morning as a rough thumbnail before going to see this guy today. I have known him my whole life so I don't think he's gonna rip me off. Going to try to talk him into losing "rental" and adding a bedroom amount or something. Rick those are exactly the colors I was...
  18. 1-shot Cleaning Brushes

    I clean mine with two washes of paint thinner. You can even thwack them off the toe of your boot after this step. Then I store in regular baby oil. I mean they are literally lying in baby oil in my sign kit. When I use them again I swish in turpentine and wipe off the handles with a dry...
  19. I need some constructive criticism on my website

    I could never get any of the pix to load. Site seems very slow (I am not on dial-up) But looking at the logo, I would say you need to re-think that completely. Lose the Brush Script and Stencil fonts and pick something that goes with your Kokopelli figures. Love....Jill
  20. You couldn't pay me enough!

    Nope! Not me. My friend Bill would be all over that, though, he likes a challenge. He was lettering the side of a building at a steel mill in Pittsburgh about 2 years ago, a tall building about 250' up, 5' high painted letters using some sort of staging that went through a hole in the roof...
