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. |
