Tropical Sign

Quite a while back I worked on a backyard tropical sign as an art project, and it was a project....then I laid aside the pieces until I decided where they would go, and needless to say, it was out of sight, out of mind.  So I have finally installed the sign.

There are still some dangly pieces that I plan on adding, and another project I have is to paint a little "beach shack" birdhouse that goes on the top.  Hopefully that won't take me as long to get to!  I sprayed each with multiple coatings of sealant for weather.

I'm in the process of making a "Tropical Sign" for our Florida yard, but haven't put the pole in the ground yet.  I sprayed multiple layers of protective finish since I know it will take a beating with the weather down here.  It was tons of fun to custom design/tailor and paint for places that I love.  It was lots of fun  doing the Disney characters!  I purchased little ornaments to hang on or stand on top of various signs...pelican with the surf board and margarita will hang off the Key West sign, and the kayak off the Honeymoon Island sign. :)

 

I'll post a pic of the final sign once I put it up...maybe after this few weeks of rain are finished.  The plan is to make a little "beach shack" bird house (which I haven't finished yet) to put on top of the 4X4 post. (my husband said I should sell them, but it took me so much time to make, it would never be worth it!  You can buy much more inexpensive version, although less tailored...chalk this one up to fun and custom decor)
