A sunflower maybe - signifying growth - or a phoenix - signifying a new beginning

[HappyHippy]

Hi Jakebob,
That's no problem - depending on the name of your new place I could come up with something appropriate to that or a general farm type scene. Or anything really so long as it's fairly simple, line drawing style (because I fill in the engraving with paint) I'm thinking garden gate, funky bird box, oh, the list goes on and on..................
If you pm me your email address I'll be in touch.
Thanks

Annie - you're really stretching my artistic abilities here  Sunflower, yip - no problem. Phoenix, well I just don't know about that one !

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek).

Hi,
I've recently moved to a new smallholding with OSB pigs and Dexter cattle (for now!). I was wondering, do you do any signs on stands? Or that could be hung from a stand if I could buy/make one? My house goes out to the roadside you see, with a house name sign already on a stand there and it's a useful road to pick up customers for eggs and pork and such like.
It would be nice to have a sign with 'Bancyboblen Herd' written on it, with a picture of an OSB and perhaps a (non-short) Dexter.
Also, I now your signs are permanent, weatherproof signs but I've been looking for a sign that I could alter myself so that I can advertise pork, weaners, cattle and eggs, as and when they are ready? Any ideas, or if you can't do it, any way I could fashion something myself?
I love the signs that I've seen by the way, and the ones for other people.
Keep up the good work

Hi Bethan,
It should be quite easy to fix the sign onto some chain to hang from a post, or even below your existing sign.
I can do OSB no problem, never tried a Dexter yet, but I'll try anything once  My gut feeling is that they look more effective with just one design - it means you can get it bigger and have more impact, but I can have a play about with layouts and see what I can come up with.
For your selling I could do a "For Sale" or "Currently Available" sign to hang below your name sign and you could write whatever you were selling onto it - I think the pens you get to write on chalkboards would work (like pubs use) but I've not tried it myself.
If you pm me your email address or send an email to me at kkjmckay@aol.com I can send you some stuff to look at.
Many thanks,
Karen

Thank you very much for your reply, I look forward to sorting something out, it's going to be brilliant, I'm sure 
I have emailed you.
