| The biggest challenge on this piece was figuring out how to space the black and white stripes evenly because they radiate from the center. I had to scratch my head over that one until it finally came to me.

| Really pretty sign and great job on the stripes. I love the little welcome sign in the middle too. Luvs |

| Thanks so much everybody! :-) The original piece was just a plain flat unfinished wooden plaque I purchased from Michaels. Everything else you see there I painted on it. There is no extra piece of tin on it; that's just trompe l'oel -- just shading around the "tin" part. The stripes were to make it a little "Mackenzie Childs." I love their stuff. |

| Oh, Gail -- are you asking me if there was a pattern for this? No, there is no pattern; this was my creation. I like to do my own thing, but I do research other pieces for inspiration. |
