04/23/2012 - "Lettuce" Plant Marker

I love old advertisements, from the Victorian era through World War II. That is the look I am trying to accomplish with these markers. I did a bit of internet research and looked at various vintage advertisements to come up with my designs for these.

Reclaimed Material: wood scrap
Other Material: none
Tools: paint, paint brushes 

How I did it: Just like the tomato marker, I cleaned up the wood, sketched out my design and painted it on. The wood scrap was already white and liked how the finish was weathered so I left that alone.

What I would do differently: This marker is a little more interesting than the tomato marker. I wouldn't change this one, even though it is simple.
