No Animals Were Killed to Obtain This Animal Head

Recently, I have been hung up on animal heads

I not only sell on Etsy.com but I could, and sometimes do get lost looking at all the amazingly cool things that are made and sold there.  And while I am not against hunting for animals (this is America, after all) (you know freedom to bear arms, etc) I just won’t do it. So lately I have been seeing a lot of them, animal heads,…made from clay, straw, or whatever usually done without killing of animals. Which is my preference after all and my blog…so I am sharing  one store that I find incredibly unique with you.

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum

Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest

Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates loot
on Treasure Island and best of all, you can
enjoy these riches every day of your life.
Walt Disney
1901-1966, American Artist, Film Producer
more famous quotes

You don’t have to have a cask of rum or a parrot on your shoulder to find your treasure chest with Atlas Signs and Plaques!

Just one of our “Phrase Crazy” plaques that could be fun for the front door, Captain’s quarters, hatch, or man cave entrance.

You don’t need a black beard, have an eye patch and a parrot on your shoulder, or know the whereabouts of a buried treasure to find your special meaning with this plaque. Make plundering fun again by hanging the skull and crossbones on the front door, boat hatch, or entrance to your man cave. Ahh, the pirate’s life. Days spent singing, fighting, plundering, drinking, raiding, keel-hauling, and sailing. Kind of like a weekend frat party! Just boys being boys.

Whether your schooner is a Sea Ray, Broward, Hatteras, Chris Craft, Feadship, Nordhavn, Grand Banks, Beneteau, Columbia, Benetti, Bass Tracker, Hunter, Jeaneau, or even a land-locked Suburban Rambler, remind yourself and others that the pirate in you is alive and well. Sail, Power, or Steam, bring the Blue Caribbean, the sound and fury of canon, the rattle of sabers, the smell of the sea and unwashed men, and the look of wind filled sails to your humble barge. Captains Jack Sparrow, Singleton, Kid, Morgan, and Blackbeard would be pleased that you carry on the tradition of the dashing rogue. And remember, a pirate looks at 40 all too soon!

Play a little Jimmy Buffet or a “Pirates of the Caribbean” DVD, walk the plank over to the galley, grab a grog, and plunder a plaque for yourself, and another for your favorite mutinous friend. You can even change the phrase. Atlas Signs and Plaques loves being creative. Pictured in copper with raised lettering, but you can have it your way. You don’t even need to sing the lyrics to “Fifteen Men On a Deadman’s Chest” to order, just a credit card or paypal account.

Under penalty of flogging, we swear these are Made in America.

The time spent in trying to impress others could be spent in doing the things by which others would be impressed.

A Quartz,  Made in the USA, Clock Works Can Be Added to Many Signs And Plaques

This example of peace sign art is our popular “Keep The Peace Sign” and is finished in the copper verdi finish. It looks like an antique copper wall clock.

The retro wall clock look is one of our favorites at Atlas Signs and Plaques, but you can have us turn most any of our plaques into a kitchen clock or a clock for the den or office. Just go to the Atlas Signs and Plaques “We Create Your Ideas” page for a quick start.

Anything is possible. How about your company logo with a clock? or Name Plates with a clock? or a Witty Phrase with a clock? Atlas Signs and Plaques can do it!

How do we do it? We apply real metal coatings to modern HDU foam (the same stuff used in the space program and for exterior signs for over 20 years). This gives us the freedom to create signs and plaques that are totally custom without the weight, wait, limitations, expense, or pollution of foundry casting. Better for you and better for the environment.

Get one at our e-commerce store or contact Atlas Signs and Plaques directly.

A thoughtful and unique gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a Wedding or Graduation.

Numbers can be replaced by a short inspirational phrase to make the plaque very personalized. Remember, at Altas Signs and Plaques, everything we do is 100 per cent custom and 100 percent Made in the USA using all American materials and labor.
