Hex Sign Poster
by Connie Schallau
 The
"Pennsylvania Dutch" or "Pennsylvania Germans", best known
as the "fancy" Dutch, created beautiful folk art type
designs commonly referred to as "hex signs." These signs
were painted on barns and houses.
What do the signs mean? They only began to be hung
inside homes in the mid-1900s. Many legends surround the hex
sign. Some people affix magical powers to them, while others
just enjoy the simple, colorful geometric designs.
Personally, I remain open-minded...and well, if my
Distelfink* brings me good luck and happiness, who am I to
complain. How to make your own Hex
Sign.

Original paintings can be expensive. Many of us find
that our budget does not permit artist's originals. This is where posters
come in. Posters bring the creative art works of all levels of artists to
those of us on a more limited budget. |
