This week I'm finishing this job for a Westerly RI travel agency. This job involved refinishing a sign that was several years old, and had been lettered with vinyl, so the old vinyl had to be stripped and the signboard refinished with new colors, chosen by the client. The client wanted an upgraded look, but didn't have the budget for a new carved sign; the compromise was to purchase individual letters for the main copy, and finish them with 23k gold leaf. The rest of the copy was hand lettered. Although this is not my favorite way to do a sign - I prefer to use new materials and start from scratch - this sign will still look good and be an effective advertising tool, while staying within the client's budget restrictions.
