Custom name and special date Copper Sign

Description

I start with copper sheet metal and hand emboss the font of your choosing. Last name, favorite phrase, etc. Underneath I hand stamp your wedding or anniversary date along with the individual names. This can be done for a couple or family. Next, I torch fire a patina onto the copper. This is like painting with a torch. I can achieve an array of colors ranging from vibrant, to more subdued hues. The last two picture show a couple of variations. Each piece turns out unique and one of a kind. The large embossed letters are hand sanded to show bits and pieces of the shiny metal underneath. This gives the piece great character while contrasting with the aged look of the patina. The copper art is then placed on a finished wood piece and set with finishing nails. This frame is Cherry Wood and in the photo it is done with a clear varnish. You may choose your desired finish.

Each sign comes with saw tooth brackets for easy hanging. These also look great in a picture easel.

This makes a wonderful wedding, anniversary, birthday, housewarming or Christmas gift.

A great deal of time and care are taken when creating your special, one of a kind piece. Please allow up to 7 days for creation and shipment.
Different fonts are available.
