mikewix Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 With temps below 0 at night and daytime highs 5 to 15, the shop was a good place to be this past week. I did mother nature and Charlie Dearing's deer. I also started Mike Williams quail. Had about 8 hrs of scrolling done when I had a piece break out, so not sure what to do with it yet. May cut more in that area and see if it blends in or not. My wife says if you don't know its there you won't notice it, we'll see. I love scrolling, but I'm ready for spring and a change of pace. Thought I was going Kevin's direction this winter but health issues and doctor apps. screwed that up, maybe next winter. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Love them both, Mike. I bet the mother nature one gets a lot of conversation where ever it get hung. On the quail one, I've had luck gluing some small pieces back in. In face most times I can not find where one was glued after the picture is done. Course this is assuming you can find the piece that broke out. I'm finding Mike's patterns a more slow going that Charles'. I working the moose, and it is taking a loooog time. Been on it quite a while and still only on the brush along the bottom of the picture! Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there buddy you'll be happy with the end results. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
