Summer

 The amount of spring days left are fast disappearing. It was time for a new shutter sign for the front porch.

This one is a bit smaller in height.  I had to scrape it, wash it, spray paint a primer coat then hand paint the rest.  Emily has a tub of acrylic paints that she inherited from my Mom.  She brings it on vacation as my Mom used to do for us to paint rocks.  

No words on this sign - just stars and stripes.  The stars are painted on a plate that I first painted blue.  I used one of my punches to punch out 13 stars which I arranged on the plate then outlined with a white pen then painted.

I used a plate hanger to hang the plate from the shutter.

Let summer begin!
