Dave Monk Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Since we will be headed back to Bloomington Illinois (home of the redbirds) soon....... I thought it would be appropriate to use my new found passion to design a Redbird plaque. This was my first attempt using different sized letters in the same word. It took me a while but it was fun. I'm learning a bit every day. By the time I do it again I will probably have to relearn it. This old brain forgets pretty quick. They measure 18" x 4 1/2". dave lawson56, New Guy, Chachi111769 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
