ART OF ADRIENNE

These signs have been through many iterations of colors and animal designs, but this is the first time they wanted the animals colored in! If you look at the last few pics here, you will see what the signs used to look like over the years. Some of the animals were kind of unidentifiable so we took some liberties with a few of them Another big change was the color of the border. Historically, it’s usually been a very dark color, and instead we went with Sparkling Emerald by BehrPaint. We used it on some of the other fences too. It’s such a pretty green!

There are 2 entry gate signs and they are each 16ft long! The zoo kindly delivered them to my house and I barely had room in our garage to work on them–partly because we were working on the tiger in there at the same time. Luckily they could each be dismantled into two 8 ft pieces. The longest piece I worked on in my garage was the 30 ft long sign for Heartdance studio in Lansing. That was very difficult in the garage!
