"No" Sign

A great sign to tell people exactly what you think.

So while we were in Italy I stumbled across these amazing gardens that were maintained by the townsfolk in Cinque Terre. In an attempt to keep people from walking through the garden, or picking the flowers, they had these huge sign detailing all of the things that they would like for you to avoid doing if at all possible. That is all but one of them had this large and very detailed sign; this garden had a little white sign that very simply said the word “No” in little red letters.

    For the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to just paint on a simple ‘No’, so I ended up printing off a picture of the word no, painting it red and then cutting it out.

    Then I just mod podged the letters to the wood and once that was dried I mod podged over the whole thing to give it a barrier and sort of seal it. Now all that there’s left to do is take it to work and watch it frustrate all of my colleagues!
