Our orders have finally slowed down ... just in time for our personal schedule to speed up. Right now we have 4 hex sign orders remaining before the new year. However until our schedule can have some more flexibility we will be returning to making signs as we are able and listing only completed ones at our Etsy shop. I know we keep going back and fourth with this, but that seems to be the best choice at the moment, especially with the break in placing orders. The custom listings have been deactivated for now until we are ready to be working by order again.
Don't worry we will still be making signs, and you've all shown us which are your favorites so we will be sure to get some going in between and after our current orders are complete. There are still 2 signs we currently have that are already half done and 3 more that are drawn out. Not counting the new wood that we are going to be cutting hopefully today.
We are going to make some changes to our signs. We have bought some primer that hopefully will let us draw the design on the surface still. This will allow us to hopefully only need 1 coat of the enamel paint instead of 2 to 3. Which in turn means... you get your signs faster and we can list completed signs sooner :-) Which I think would make everyone happy. I'll let you all know how the testing goes and hopefully success of it.
Also going to start mixing our own colors for some of the signs as well now that we have yellow in the same oil base as the others. We will also keep you up to date on how this turns out as well. Planning to use some empty baby food jars to hold the mixed colors and I bought some new measuring spoons so that we can hopefully create some ratio recipes for our colors.
Well better try to get to it. But first have to get the little dragons down for a nap. Until next time, may you find magic wherever you go.
