Elliot Door label

[planeur]

For my little nephew Elliot (my nephew Fred's boy), I made this door label with his name and a little addition of his totem animal, the wolf, perched on a rock begging at the moon for a good meal and a nice .....louve!

The nameplate is made of maple on a red background (his favorite color), and the moon is a thin piece of marquetry glued on an MDF, and looks like the moon and its craters.... The wolf and the rock are 2 pieces of black plastic, thin, cut with a scalpel, from a drawing found on the WEB, then glued on the wood.
Its name is cut at scrollsaw
Finishing with oil + wax
I had a lot of fun varying it several times with different drawings, before this one. 😊

Elliot should love it!!! That is so creative and I love your detail filled description. Very nice!!

Like the design.
Looks like this could be a great craft show item. An assortment of things to choose from for the left side and then cut the name. Easy to mail when completed.

I like every thing about that sign. What font is it.?

I really like that. I have an Elliott grandson. I think he needs something like that for his room!
