Here's a cheery
 sign to hang indoors or out. Measures a little less than 13" long by 3-1/2", with bent baling wire hanger adding total height of ~9-1/4". I've given it a single coat of matte varnish to help protect the paint if it is hung outdoors. Comes with a raffia bow (not shown) that you can tie onto the wire wherever you think it looks best.

These fun little "seed packets" are made from 4" wide rough-sawn 3.5" pine. Note that this is recycled wood and back sides may be very knotty and have other irregularities. If the fronts have any, I've chosen that side to enhance the old-time look and feel of the painting. Very "antique" feel. Made to hang on a nail or a hook by their twine hanger (what else?). Sign itself measures 3.5" W x 5" high; with twine hanger, comes to overall hanging height of approx. 10". Each one done freehand, so there will be slight variations from ones shown here. Limited supply. Hint: This is the kind of thing you want to pop in with your other order so that postage doesn't cost you an arm & a leg for something so small!

 Every once in awhile my "Tole Gene" breaks loose and I have to do Something Completely Different. I realize the saying isn't "new" but what it says never goes out of style. Done spontaneously without any patterns, sign itself is definitely one of a kind! This is really an exuberant feel-good wall hanging. I think it reflects the fun I had doing it. Measures 5-1/2" high x 7-1/2" long. Jack chain hanger brings overall hanging height to 8". Back and edges are painted flat green. Sign's rich dark stain wood face is nicely satin varnished. Has my label on back.

 This is another little wood & wire sign made on beautiful clear cedar discards from a spa manufacturer which I've laminated together, back to back, to form a "board. The pansies are basically purples, one is wine colored, one has orange markings on top petals, another has white on bottom. Quill pen detailing. Signed on front. Light satin finish. Board measures 3" high x 9-3/4" long. Hanging length ~7-3/4". Soft blackish wire is easy to bend by hand and easy to cut with common household cutters, so you may adjust as desired. Weighs ~3.5 oz. Allow 1# shipping wt.

Some fun signs for Bird Lovers
Some time ago, I had the good fortune of hitting the Mother Lode on throw-aways from production of a spa and hot tub manufacturer. These were beautiful pieces of clear cedar with lovely coloring, beautiful wood graining, and a painting surface to die for! Thousands of uses and projects danced through my head as I loaded them up and stored them carefully away. Their only "drawback" was/is that they are cut like shingles (i.e., narrower at the bottom than the top). At first I used the smaller ones back to back for wonderful weatherproof birdhouses. But the narrower ones just cried out to become something. I think this "something" is these neat little signs. I've glued them together with weatherproof glue to make a cedar plywood (in short, put them right back to their original state) ... and here are some of the results. Hope you like the idea, too. Recycling at its finest! Signs are each individually handpainted to be "one of a kinds." I've added quill pen detailing, too and each one is signed Austin Originals. Please note: Although these are outdoor themed, they are designed for indoor use only!
