Handmade Slate Signs
« on: July 08, 2010, 11:48:34 am »
Hiya,
Since baby's arrived now and we're back to normal (well, as normal as it gets here ;)) It's another wee bump up for my signs. Apologies to everybody who's seen the ad before.

The signs are handmade from scottish slate, the designs are carved by hand, before being painted then varnished to protect them.
The larger signs are approx 12 inches by 6 inches while the smaller ones are 8 inches by 6 inches. Larger ones are possible by mounting the slates onto wooden backing (please contact me for details) I can make house signs, stable signs, garden signs, standing signs, hanging signs etc and have a range of design motifs and text styles - pretty much whatever you want. Please see below for some of the designs - for the whole shebang have a wee look at my website. www.happyhippydesigns.webs.com

Large signs £25 + £5 P&P  Small signs £15 + £3.50

Thanks for looking folks,
Karen x

I love my three. We're waiting for the grand opening of the potting shed before ceremonially putting up the sign!
