A sign they had to sign what kinda bussnises things were because only some people could read. These signs had a limited amount of writting because only the rich people could read most times. Also they were quite simple not too stravegant. I decided to do a sports theme sense I play lots of sports, and I just love sports. The sports theme was very fun to do, because the balls look almost like you could take them off the sign and play with them. I think the main thing that made me think of a sports theme is because we started basketball the day we started making these signs. I had problems painting cause I ran out of a blue that I made and I couldn't make the same blue. When I was putting mod podge on a piece of my baseball broke but it was easily hidden. Another problem was deciding what color laces to put on the football. Yes! I love my projects, I love it because its all shiny and has sports on it! I had tons of fun with this project and would make another one if we could! My favorite part is the color of the letters! I made that color and I just love it!

A sillohete is a paper cut out of people. People had these cut out of there family. Familys that didn't have a lot of money to have them painted usually had them cut out by a sillohete artist. I decided to do a lot of basketball because basketball is my favorite sport and it means a lot to me. Then I put volleyball on the sillohete because its one of my favorites along with a softball. I decided to put my favorite number on it sense its my number for everything. Some problems i had were that I cute through the paper so it stopped and wasn't attatched. Some spots were not the way I wanted them to be cut out but I had to adjust to my mistakes. The basketballs also were not even due to cutting wrong. Yes I am happy with this project. I love that It has a ton of basketballs. I also like that it all blends together and works out good. The only thing I'd change is that the basketball net is really ugly and next time I';d do a backboard and not a net.
