I've made a couple of crosses and have some questions before finishing them off:
In the past I've put my signature on all my work with a brand - but it is kinda clunky and is obviously not going to work on most scrollwork - and definitely on these crosses - so what do you folks do? - or do you even sign your work at all?
What do you provide to hang the cross on a wall? - again - the fretwork doesn't lend itself to anything more than a small hole - the shaping of the scroll itself will allow it to hang on a nail - but the nail would be visible. I've been thinking of providing a small piece of velcro. Again - what do you folks do?
Last question - I see some crosses have backings - some are on plaques, some nothing - is there a rule of thumb? My wife and I have talked about this quite a bit - she opts for no backing - at least on these three (so that means the decision has been made .....)
Thanks for any advice - terrific forum.
