Finished up the sign for Ollivander's wand shop. I had found a plaque of wood sign at the thriftstore already outfitted with a hanger in the back. The only trouble was that it was a dark maroon, and it had writing already painted on. So first up was a coat of black spray paint to cover everything. It also had 2 metal stars on either side which I just left--stars are wizardy, right?
So after that dried, I printed out the sign for Ollivanders (after a little modification to make it easier to trace). I taped it onto some tracing paper I already had from pumpkin carving, then just traced over with a pen. As a last step, I took a silver sharpie and traced/filled in the design. I had been debating over whether to use paint for this, but once everything was traced out, I realized some of the letters were going to very difficult with a paint brush, no matter how small. So I opted for the pen. Very pleased with how it turned out.
