FOLK was themed around travel in the Jan/Feb issue, so Route 66 just popped into my head. I created a gigantic decal stencil with my pro sign making equipment and went to work!

You can still get this issue from a local retailer.

(The full tutorial is in FOLK only this round, however my "How to make old signs" ebook will be published soon that will cover how I design and create old signs onto virtually any surface. You can also see how I create from my old sign post and my stairs post.)

Each time the magazine arrives on the doorstep is like Christmas morning. It feels like YOUR magazine. And that's the way FOLK likes it. They deem partnership as being part of the family.

How about you? Do you wish you had a special place to land where publishing is concerned? Ever wish your own projects would be published? If yes, you've come to the right place today!

FOLK is always looking for contributors of projects AND stories. So editor Ben and I came up with a brainstorm... get YOU involved because your projects are amazing!
