A Pennsylvania Dutch Hex sign: A form of traditional folk art from my part of the state! They are found on barns as decoration, but some believe they can also serve as talismans.

This version is a later variant; An homage to those with mixed Irish / Dutch / German heritage. This is for my dad :)

I'd really like to make more of these, but less traditional and more contemporary! Also i just used poscas and acrylic paint on wood :)
