The artist hand carve the stones, paint is applied to the stone, paper is applied atop the raised, painted areas and a roller over the paper transfer the paint to the print. There are other processes, I'm sure. This is just the one I am familiar with. <br />What a find!

Roger's City has an old one too, another cool one is in the Eastern Market in Detroit, that one even has an old elevator with the gate that comes down and a gentleman whose job is to run the elevator!Julie Hindsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-15204226726022548002011-03-30T12:48:47.803-04:002011-03-30T12:48:47.803-04:00I wonder if they are the templates for the actual ...I wonder if they are the templates for the actual metal signs.

I had peeked in the windows when walking by.. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />LindaMeadowbrook Cabin Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704458357618645268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-91626817247566784412011-03-30T08:27:38.650-04:002011-03-30T08:27:38.650-04:00Hi!
