I've shared my love for words with you in an earlier post which you can read here. Recently I saw an Etsy dealer who created words on stone pavers and I knew I had to have a similar creation for Two Holt's garden! We had almost everything necessary to make our own and Phil was willing to give it a try. We only needed a stone paver and we bought that for a couple of dollars at Home Depot. Phil thought it would be best to prepare the stone surface for the painted words by putting a few coats of a waterproof sealant on it. I created a sign in Microsoft Publisher and printed it for the next step. Phil put carbon paper under the printed sign and taped it securely in place. Then he used a pen to trace the words onto the stone paver. When he was finished tracing the letters, this is what we had... Phil used a porcelain paint pen to fill in the traced letters. He finished with another coat of clear sealant to protect the paint on the stone. I will be looking for the perfect garden spot to place Phil's creation this spring when we return to Two Holt. Hmmm...time to think of our next Two Holt project!
