Patriotic Art
Proudly made in the USA
The rustic, patriotic ribbons and military patches are not massed produced but each loving
made by my own hands in honor of those who have served this great country.
While I wish I could make a ribbon and unit patch at no charge for each veteran you must
understand they are very time consuming, from finding just the right old wood, hauling it to my
work shop, unloading, storing, de-nailing, cutting & disposing of the unusable parts,
milling, then assembling the plaques & shadowboxes and that is just the wood!
Each piece of tin is cut by hand & painted in several stages to get all three colors
just right then mount onto the rustic wood plaque. This is truly, 'a labor of love!!'
I chose tin and old wood as the medium for this project for a reason, I have shared this reason
on my WELCOME page under 'Our Fighting Forces' article, hope you take a minute to read it.
To make the ribbon your own I will be happy to personalize it at no additional charge
with the military information you want. (Tip, less is better.)
I suggest putting across the top, name and rank, across the sides perhaps
branch and years served, unit, motto, battles fought, anything you want.
Here are a couple of examples.

As for the patches they are all free hand. Below you can see some of the patches I
have already tried my hand at and I would be honored to try my hand at yours.
Just email me a picture of your patch (if you do not have one try the Internet) and I will let you know the price.
Price is determined by degree of difficulty.
On these two items I try to keep the price as low as possible in hopes that each
veteran who wants one can afford one.
Please feel free to email me with any questions include your phone number if you prefer I call you.
Patriotic Ribbons in shadow box run $49
Military patches start at $39
