This time I made it just a little bit smaller than I’ve been making them, to keep as much extra material as I could, to make into a built-in desk/table stand. I am very pleased with the results, as I still wasn’t sure up until the end if I was even gonna be able to pull off that stand part.
Potential color(s) to paint it, yet to be decided, but I feel the name should be one solid color, while the stand/underline part should be another color.
Thoughts and opinions welcome, as always. The lady this is meant for has no idea this gift is coming her way, but the elderly lady that asked me to make it for her is thinking red…
Absolutely agree; but, if you paint the name a bold color, a complementary color for the base might be fun!
We ultimately went with a rosy red for the name and a slightly dark shade of teal for the base.
I don’t even think I got a proper final photo of it, it’s out for delivery right now. But the colors complement each other quite well, plus should stand out whether placed on a white table or a brown desk…
