Back to Signs Gallery Sign: Gargoyle By Colossus Signs People really think this sign is made from stone, until they pick it up and see how light it is. It was made by cutting out a disc shape from 1" thick foam. The gargoyle shape and circular frame were first cut out of thin cardboard, then laid down on the disc. Then it was sprayed with a paint that dissolves the foam- see the rocky texture where the sign indents. The whole sign was then painted with a stone finish type of spray paint. Then the gargoyle and frame were painted a different color with a paint roller.
