Clayton717 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 here is one of the cuttings I did after the bug bit me. they are not framed. I wanted to get your opinions on the background colors. I like them both but I think I like the black more. I'm undecided I will probably frame both ways and let whoever gets the decide. cut in 1/8" Baltic birch. bobscroll, Scrolling Steve, hippi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I am old and pretty set in my ways. I almost always prefer the high contrast of black for my backer color, but then I also do not have a creative mind or else i would be making patterns Dick heppnerguy amazingkevin and Clayton717 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Clayton those both are good. I like elements of both colors.

Clayton717 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 thanks for the comments. I stack cut 4 of these. I think I will leave 2 each way, and leave it to the customer as to which they like better. The more I look at the them the more I can't decide.

Kragax Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I really like this one. Is it one of your own patterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I really like this one. Is it one of your own patterns? This is not my pattern. The name on the pattern is Phunky, But I don't know which site I got it from. There were several scroll saw forums that no longer exist so it may cam from one of them.

Fab4 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi Clayton: I like DW's reply - a mix of red and black The eye, looks awesome in red - Looks angry Either way, you can't go wrong If you take your pattern and use a graphics program you should be able to fill the areas with different colors This would give you a better idea on how it will look Thanks for showing us Fab4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 They both look good. Adding color is always something to think about. It sure helps then jump out with the red. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
