    Love the second sign, both super cute, but that second one is adorable. Not even something I wouldn’t typically be drawn to, but I really loved it!

    I love the layers and chippy paint. The Dairy sign is just crazy that it's not old. I will so be pouring salt on my paint!!! You absolutely know what you're doing and knock it out of the park!!!! 😃😃😃😃

    Hi. So happy I found a way to do signs without having to buy a Cricut! I love your techniques. Also love watching a fellow Canadian. Look forward to watching all your videos! Both of today's projects are awesome but I have to say my favourite is #1.

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying. Love Canadian followers so happy to have you here. I love my Cricut but this method I love more for signs

    Thank you for sharing all your tips & techniques, I am so happy that some of the "older retro" methods have come back, crackle & decoupage to name two 😀 & I love your new spin on the methods, so much easier & faster. 😍 My fav is the "Retro Cool Junk" sign.....so groovy lol

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  Před 2 lety

      One of my favourite signs!! Thanks for watching Hilary

  • @thelthrythquezada8397

    You have NO IDEA how many ideas the going via hiking round is giving me. I was born with the gift for the arts and I don’t say that to brag at all, but that would have been a DOPE (cool for those of you there were not in NYC in the 90s) Jupiter relief style painting. Dang it! I pray that I will be blessed enough to find a round for myself.

    Hi Deidra. Just come across your wonderful channel from this side of the pond, Bolton, Lancashire, UK. I'm a professional artist doing painting demonstrations across the care sector here but lost my self employed title due to the impact of Covid-19 restrictions. This in effect, destroyed my confidence over the last 12 months. I lost the will to paint and my creative juices stopped flowing. I recently got motivated by a very good ex art teacher who had set up a gallery and invited me to join their network, registered with the charity and became gallery manager. I still couldn't find the will to paint though but I really enjoy this new experience. As we developed the gallery, I found lots of old pallets which kind of inspired me to look differently at art. I began cutting them, used my old acrylic paints to colour them which took me in a new direction. I didn't quite know what to do further so I searched on line and came across your bubbly, live enthusiastic touch. I've completely turned a corner and with your experience and knowledge, have been combining my art with wood. I find you totally engaging and will be replicating many of your expert guidance as I continue to build. Thank you so much for your help and truly inspiring me. I will show you one or two pieces of my recent work... XX

    Ooooh! I like both of those!! I always see black and white layers done so this was especially great to watch. The technique using multiple colors is so pretty! (I would never have thought to do different colors underneath.) ❤️ I love it, and ooooooh, I can’t wait to try that out!!! 😃
    I’m so glad you shared these with us! Now, to go out in the shed, and begin the hunt for wood…

  • @Rosiebella80
    @Rosiebella80 Před rokem

    I LOVE THE SECOND ONE… It looks authentic and exactly the intended outcome. The first one is beautiful but because the lettering looks so sharp it looks like new lettering on an old piece of wood but that second one tree looks like an antique sign that you found in some barn way back in there hiding. I freaking love it the more imperfect it looks the more authentic it is I am absolutely going to use this technique on that exact type of wood thank you so much you have absolutely gained a gnu far I am so glad I found this channel. ✌🏾❤️
