FrankEV Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Back in November of 2020, I posted a plaque I designed and cut that I intended to hang on the front of our house. It was a play on Winter Wonderland Plaques but made for Winter in Florida. The post was: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/40845-seasonal-plaque/?tab=comments#comment-444798. There was just one problem, I spelled the Word “Welcome” with two ‘L’s”. So, it never got hung. Now it is almost November 2021, so I decided to remake it for this winter. It is the exact same pattern, with “Welcome” spelled correctly. Only change was a slight increase in size to 12” x18”. Words and trees once again cut from 1/4" Maple solid core Plywood and affixed to a 1/2" sanded plywood backer painted Oaisis Blue. Trees painted with Artist Acrylic paints. Plaque was made weatherproof with multiple coats of spray clear gloss polyurethane. So, like I said in that post, come this Winter solstice I'll swap my "Happy Fall Y'all" plaque for this "Welcome to Our Winter Wonderland" plaque. Plaque 2020 turned into firewood. Plaque 2021 (Pic taken with a better camera and lighting) Hope you enjoy.

meflick Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well, guess that was the case of many of us “seeing” what we expect rather than what is actually there. I clearly missed that when I commented. last year. this one looks good too. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrowning Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Spelling is highly over-rated as far as I'm concerned. LOL Jim FrankEV and Dak0ta52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I like the coloring and brightness of the second plaque much better. More vibrant! As far as the spelling on the first plaque, if anyone says anything just tell them you meant to do that. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, side by side they look almost identical colorwise. I did not reshoot the 2020 plaque. It is the original picture I posted last year. I now have a much better camera and lighting system that brings out the colors much better. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
