The making of a new product

A while ago I received a lot of small wooden panels from my husband, 

and after some thought I came up with a new idea: 

to make these into small text panels, as a nice gift/message. 

I like words, I like writing (my grandmother made me enthusiastic about calligraphy, so lovely...) 

and I like painting.

It took some work; sanding, priming, painting first layer, choosing the palette, painting the words,
putting on a hook and wrapping them all before I could take them with me to a fair.
These are some pictures of the process:

They are now for sale in my Etsy-shop for 19.50 euro.
