Make A Sign Using Your Art Photos

Christmas-elf-bead
I needed a basic sign for my Studio Marcy  Etsy Shop that said  "Reserved"
and "Custom Order" on it.

I could have just used text, but decided that I should dress it up a bit.

So I took one of my Christmas elf bead and used my Photoshop Elements to erase a section, draw a border around it and add the text I wanted.

This particular bead already had his arms spread wide, so he was perfect to hold the sign.  He's bright and stands out, as well as is kind of cute, if I do say so myself.

 I could see putting a sign in one of my dog bead's mouth, or a variety of other options too.  If you make long focals, why not turn it on it's side and erase a section of it to write your message?  Or bead sets could have words printed on each bead.

Just a little idea to keep you thinking about looking at the bead business from a slightly different angle and hopefully keep your art in front of your customer's eyes.

Happy Weekend!
Marcy

    I really love your adorable glass work. Wish I could buy one of each.
    And that ugly frog with the Santa hat is just out of this world. I will look him up in your Etsy shop.
