Arrows: I needed things to clearly direct my clients to the cash register & "coffee embellishing" station...so with help from my sister's Cricut machine, some fancy scrapbooking paper, cardboard & garden twine, I made these two lil' arrows. Not too shabby, eh?
Flowers: I used to have a clock hanging over the door to the patio, but after moving it to the front of the store, the back looked sad & empty. I decided that a little hanging "patio" or "jardín" sign was a necessity.
I found this tutorial by searching "wire and yarn sign" on Google.
Twisting the wire was actually way more of a hassle then I thought it was gonna be...
but it was all worth it in the end & I'm loving my new artsy sign!
I can't decide if it needs more flowers or if less truely is more.
What do you think?
Fire Extinquisher: We needed one. We bought one. We hung it up.
Now it's just...there.
I'm thinking about playing around a little so it becomes a little piece of quirky art instead of strictly serious...any ideas?
I have some of my own...but want to know what you guys would think is appropriate.
I have to have a sign saying "HERE'S THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!"
(basically.)
So I could either make my own...or hang up the one provided...or hang up the normal one but dazzle it up a little?
OK, picture this...
ReplyDeleteA chalkboard the size of a large picture frame.
A arrow to continue your theme of using arrows.
A sentence to continue your theme of using arrows to tell people what to do
A fire extinguisher placed within the chalkboard frame.
becomes...
A chalkboard, a arrow, a fire extinguisher and a few words that all come together to make a little piece of art.
Almost poetic if I do say so myself...
P.S. More flowers
i think a great frame around it would make a nice industrial piece of artwork. and i know you'll think of something awesome for the sign. no WAY do you use the standard one. psh. and yes, less is more. keep the flowers you have. it's adorable!
