OK, When you have a project with a large cutout are, do you place other jobs inside the area? Say you have a wildlife scene and there is an area of sky that gets cut out, do you place small jobs like key chains, bottle openers, etc... ?

Re: using empty space
Darn right, I do!
$.07/pound at the scrap yard vs. $8.00 for 'shiny stuff' on the display table,, no contest.
These are great for color examples, marketing 'freebies' or deal sweeteners.
Keep a stack of stuff like these around and coat a couple with whatever color/finish you're using at the time. Or,,, when you get 'around to it'.

Re: using empty space
I just picked one that I thought would look good,,, don't remember which one, sorry.dustywill wrote: Dano,

There is another one I have a file for (Oklahoma), and it reads; "2 IT"
You sparked a thought.
Instead of TUIT, we could cut the font name in that font as a sample.
Thanks!
