Garden sign design

[Russian River Rattina]

Greetings, all.

I have also posted a design/layout for the sign which will appear in
front of our garden for your review. It is in the file folder, is
called 2009.03.garden_sign, & is formatted as a .PDF, & I have
formatted it based on the preliminary designs/basic layouts which you
have been so kind as to provide me with.

We all seem to agree that we want this sign to be made from wood & to
hence look natural. Alas, this requires my design to look horrifically
garish & UN-natural, because I want to make sure that the lines,
shapes, & letter-forms can be easily carved from wood by Richard &
others who wish to help create the sign.

When you view this file, I hence beg you to please be charitable &
imagine all of the colors, shapes, & letters as gently beveled, softly
carved, & subtly stained wooden elements. I will provide a more
realistic prototype later.

Thank you.
