House number plaque with gold squirrel design
We have been making this design for over 12 years now. Originally I modelled the squirrel out of wax on an oval base plaque and made a rubber mold from it. I created several different molds with various creatures in detailed relief and they where all given a gilded effect like this one. The rubber molds have deteriorated over the years and now we only have this gold squirrel design available. - This squirrel design will also be discontinued soon as the mold is becoming quite deteriorated. We have made about 470 pieces of the squirrel design from the mold - so it may become a collectors item in the future!
House Sign depicting Laburnum and Hawthorn
Our customer asked for a house name sign depicting laburnum flowers surrounded by hawthorn showing blossom and red berries. Rosemary Hitchman painted this design onto the 10.25 inch by 8.25 inch oval sign. The font is called Century Schoolbook
House Sign with cat paw motif
Our customer requested a simple cat paw print to be painted in the centre of this house sign. I did not have the heart to ask any of our talented artists to paint this simple motif design, so I painted it myself.
House Sign depicting Dove of Peace
Our customer saw an example of this address sign we made last year on this diary and asked for a similar one for her new home. Painted by Rosemary Hitchman.

House sign depicting witch and bats
Our customer asked for a house name plaque with Old English font depicting a Witch on a broomstick flying in front of a full moon with bats flying behing her. I painted a similar design a couple of years ago and we adapted the design to include the bats. Painted by Rosemary Hitchman.
House sign depicting Red Apples
Our customer located in the USA asked us to make this sign for her daughter as a gift. She asked for ripe 'red rome' apples with some appleblossom surrounding the fruit on the branch. This sign was painted by Rosemary Hitchman - I think the apples look good enough to eat!
rustic house sign with Boxer Dog
Our customer asked us to create a house address sign showing their boxer dog - they sent us a photo of the dog via email and Ivan Brenton used the image to paint the dog in great detail. - Ivan Brenton can paint any dog from a photo, the better the photo, the better the final pictorial.

House Number Plaque featuring Motor Bike Racer
Our customer saw a similar design painted by our artist a few years ago on our main gallery on yoursigns.com and asked for a similar one but showing a BLUE motorbike instead of a RED one. This example was painted by Ivan Brenton. Notice the race number is the same as the house number?
House Name Signs with Ape in Jungle setting
Our Customer requested a house sign depicting a BONOBO Ape in a Jungle setting. He sent us an image of the ape which was cropped at the hands and lower torso , so Ivan Brenton - the artist who painted this sign added some leaves to hide the missing hands. I think it worked out well!
House Sign with Meadow Flowers Pictorial
Our customer asked for an oval house address sign showing typical flowers growing in English Meadows. Painted by Rosemary Hitchman. The font is called Century Schoolbook.
