A hex sign with a brown background. White weaving wraps the border. Two bright blue distlefink are in the center, facing away from one another.

A new hex I worked out, it's a hex for welcoming!
Brown for fertile ground for growing bonds. Blue for abundant showers to bring life and yellow for vibrancy! Distlefinks for luck and happiness.

A hex-sign painted in two shades of light yellow with a sawtooth border, and rosette.

Beginning work on the pollinator hex. A yellow, sawtooth border for sunshine and a center rosette for stars, with an inverted sawtooth border in the center circle.

Yesterday we got to go to a crafting party. We learned about the history of Hex Signs. I marveled that we were just in Lancaster, PA! I wanted a sign but couldn't decide on one. So I made a Maryland inspired one. Anna did two signs.
