The Banner Will Be Waving!

New Banner for the Faire

Sometimes we like to do things the old way, and this banner shows it.  The fonts were supplied to us by Kathie Sever, they were carved wood letter type from the late 1800s, she printed them on paper for us a couple months ago. We put the print on the opaque projector and my daughter traced the letters onto the canvas. We painted all the color with acrylic paint, and then Joshua sewed the border and the backing. This is just one example of the path that we choose to take.

It might just look like fancy letters to you,

 but this was printed by our friend Kathie Lebec Sever who works at the Rob Roy wood letter type collection at the University of Texas. These letters were hand carved in wood over 100 years ago.  Look for more of our stuff with these on them.

Kathie also is a master with a sewing machine:
