Fishman Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I made this for my neighbor, who is battling Cancer. She loved it! Just a simple design I made, and I had the idea to use felt for the purple. I'm overall happy with how it came out, and especially with how the cuts are really pretty clean. I feel it's an improvement over my last project. Not sure if it was practice, or the new blade I used. Maybe a bit of both. The one thing I don't like, is the black paint I used. No idea why I used it, I guess it's one of those things that sounds good in your head...then not so much once you do it. Next time I will use a color that will make the backing pop a bit more; and that is more cheery. I feel the black is too dark and morbid. amazingkevin, neptun and Birchbark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Jordan that was a great gift to give. I'm sure she adored it. I personally like the black it's the purple that needs to be a bit more purple'er ( sorry could not think of another word) How thick was your wood? Maybe it was too thick.

As for the purple it might just be the picture? It was just a quick snapshot, and I don't think it captured the color. It is Lavender though, and not purple. That might be it too? Couldn't do much with that, since that's the color of the support ribbon and that was the shade of it they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two colors certainly compliment each other. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobscroll Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 It was very nice of you to do that for your neighbour Thanks for showing, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Jordan that came out very nicely. One of the things you might try is to put a thin ( 1/2 inch or so wide frame around it made from some thing light in color ) Thanks for sharing this with us.
