I came up with these like I do with most projects, out of necessity. I found myself with over 20 herbs in my garden, (I didn't mean to do this, it just happened over time), and I needed a way to mark them all. I hate spending money, so I needed something that was cheap.
I found some old wood trim someone was throwing out, and bought some more copper wire at Home Depot. I cut the wood, carved the herb names on them, painted in shades of burnt orange, red, fuchsia, and plum, then "antiqued" them with a pale blue, sealed them with clear spray, and last, dusted them with some copper spray paint.
I took the pictures at night, I was just too excited after I finished, I had to take pictures right away. I am really happy with how they turned out. I can make them in any color, I just thought these colors would look good against the green when the plants get nice and big later this season.
