This sign has all the "atmosphere" you need to compliment your cabin or lodge.  Not too big and not too small, could fit just about anywhere!  Measures 11 5/8" wide by 11 1/2" high.  With the classy dark brass link chain hanger, total height is 15 1/2".  Colors are quite muted and low key, which makes the loon's patterning really stand out, echoing the birches in the background and the lettering in "WELCOME."  The satin varnish heightened the colors and gave a rich, dark patina to the weathered wood.  I also sanded off edges for that "shabby chic" worn look.  Edges are dark Midnight Blue.  Signed copyright Austin Originals on front.  Be sure to take a look at the enlargement to fully appreciate this beautiful sign.  Actual wt. = 1# 6 oz.  Allow 3# shipping wt.

Vacation w the Loons - weathered wood sign designed, handcut and hand painted by artist Janice Austin.  Copyrighted 2004.  All rights reserved.
Click on image to see enlargement

Here's a fun tongue-in-cheek sign to hang for your summertime guests.  Done on a weathered, knotty piece of wood, I've made the surface "match" by sanding it down here and there after lettering it and making streaks of variations in the basic background's paint color.  It really looks like it may have been hanging around awhile!  (I didn't scuff up the central painting, but it, too, has weathering cracks through it.  Please see the enlargement page!)  Edges are done in Midnite Blue.  Satin finish.  Hangs by screw eyes and wire mounted on the back.  Signed ©Austin Originals  on front.  Measures  12" wide x 16-3/4" high. Actual wt. =  1-3/4#.

Swan Welcome Arch.  Artwork and design copyright by Janice austin DBA Austin Originals.  All rights reserved.Swan Welcome Sign (arch) #1  Click on picture to see enlargement.  Beautiful deep cerulean waters offset the gliding swan.   Entire sign  exudes a feeling of peace and serenity.  "Welcome" is a light teal-blue, outlined with gold paint.  Sign's edges are done with a green wash, gold paint in a groove intervening between it and the furthest back   border of cerulean blue.  Light gloss finish.  Back is painted matte black, with screw eyes and wired for hanging.  Measures 13-5/8" wide by  7" high.  *There is an indented linear area in the wood in the letter "L" and some dents bordering the back on the bottom.  Likewise, because of the nature of wood being cut cross-grain, the right side of the upper border is quite rough to the touch.   None of these affect sign's integrity.
