Description: | |
When I was a girl, I loved to visit my Grandmother. She had a large property that she tended herself. When she was home, she would lock her door and hang a sign that said" Down Back". It was an easy way to let folks know she was home, but out on the property somewhere. She was a painter, and had designed the sign on a cedar shingle. There were flowers, trees and a tiny portrait of her crouched over some plants. For this swap you will make a sign for your partner. You have control of the design, but must use the wording that your partner wants. Requirements: 1) Sign must be made of something heavier than paper or poster board. (foamcore, wood, clay, fabric, Heavy posterboard) 2) There must be a way to hang the sign (hook on back, rope, yarn or wire through holes are some suggestions) 3) Sign must be at least 4x8 inches 4) Quality work - no shoddy items are produced by CQ members! 5) A rating of 4.9 or higher 6) No late sending ....or flaking.....or else Suggestions for signs: "come on in" (great for a party, so you don't have to answer the door constantly), "we're out back" (good if you are having a BBQ or event in the yard, "Back in 10" (good for anyone with a shop, "Please leave deliveries on back steps" (good for UPS, etc.), "Do not clean" (great if you have a cleaning service come in and you need a room left as is}, "please do not let cats out". Participants should post the wording they would like in the comments section below. ....Please be sure to wrap your sign carefully for shipping :) |
