Frozen Soup To Go

Our friends Mike and Jessica, owners of The Gallery, the coffee shop around the corner from our house, were closed for a few weeks this winter for renovations. Because we had some experience using a Cricut to make vinyl signs, we were recruited to create some signage for the renovated space (which reopened today!).

We created and mounted two pieces.

One is for the freezer filled with frozen soup:

The vinyl for this sign was Oracal 631 Cyan. It cut beautifully on the Charlottetown Library Makerspace Cricut, and was very easy to “weed” and mount.

The second piece was for the large main room in the café:

Jessica came up with the wording — art is connection / connection is community — and I found the spirit of the words by aligning the two “connections” above each other.

This vinyl was Cricut removable black “SMART” vinyl (which means it doesn’t need to be cut with a backing board). It was someone more challenging to weed, and the large size (almost 5 feet wide) made it trickier for Lisa and I to mount, but we figured it out.

We’re very happy to have been able to contribute a little to one of our favourite places to spend time.
