Signs!

An exciting thing in the career of Sophie's Smokin' Squeezebox is our new signs!

Supplementary sign:

The main sign is the third proudest I've ever been of anything (after learning the accordion and sewing an elf costume), as I never credited myself any visual art ability. I had planned to find a graphic designer to do this for me (perhaps the Colombian male model), but I couldn't wait any longer. I found that a ruler was very helpful in drawing the bellows, and my lovely red accordion was a great model.

Buying a Sharpie paint pen (silver) at the art store was a game changer, as was going back for black, gold, and red. It also helped a lot when I wrote the website really messily on the bottom, and since I didn't wait to white out deemed giving it a black border the only solution to fixing it. It took several days at Tim's interior-design-planning-desk, but now I'm a real gypsy. Let's hope they help.
