Michelle Sharp - Hex Sign SOLD

Mrs. Kessler’s Class | Guest Artist: Michelle Sharp

Michelle visited our art class countless times and lovingly obsessed over each child’s beautifully, detailed, hand painted Hex Sign.  Hex Signs are a Dutch tradition typically found on barns in the NE.  Hex Signs are not about a curse as their name suggests, they are actually a blessing!  The children painted their own one of a kind piece with loving thoughts of their family.  Michelle then surprised us with her own extra large version of a Hex Sign to go along with the children’s work!

Opening Bid:  $85, Bid Increments:  $5

The Pennsylvania Dutch designed geometric signs that would immitate the moon, stars and suns on their barns in the early 1900s. The signs were called Hex Signs which symbolized good luck, prsperity and good fortune in their crops from year to year. This handpainted Hex Sign by Michelle Sharp mimics the 12 - point star, a good luck symbol is added for a good life. The colors black, white, green, puprle, blue, orange, brown, red anf yellow signify protection, purity, fertility, growth, peace, abundunce, mother earth, passion, and a healty body.
