Inspirational Plaque Time!

Finished another project today! This is an inspirational plaque that was commissioned recently. I bought a wooden plaque from my local craft store, but decided that it needed a vintage and worn white-washed look. As soon as I was out of the store, I threw the plaque on the parking lot and stomped on it, and kicked to my car, creating a rough, lightly beaten texture that one would expect on an old vintage plaque.

Next, I aged the wood to give it a driftwood appearance. Finally, I painted the lettering on and added a few light passes of whitewash, sanding it down in places to accentuate the aged look.

This 9x11 plaque was given an old, rustic farm-plaque look

I really like this piece and hope you do too!

Neverland In-Progress

I thought you might appreciate some in-progress pictures this time! I am creating a completely original sword and am very excited and nervous. This sword's design has changed so many times, I can't even remember the original concept that I had. Everything will be handcrafted by me except for the blade, though I am planning some exciting artistic treatments for it as well. Enough talk, let's see some pictures!
