Prototype

What happens when I take a simple idea and overcomplicate it?

I was talking with a friend and said, “Life is good and gets better every day.”
She said, “That would make a great sign…you could sell them on Etsy.”

Eleven layers of laser-cut plywood, ten custom-blended colors (most required 2 or 3 coats), metal leaf, and a shadow box frame from Michaels combine to create something that’s cool but totally impractical to reproduce.
