Elmo

[wombatie]

I cut this about 4 weeks ago and then I got sick. Was not the right time to paint him because I put paint were there shouldn't be paint.    Anyway I am posting the 2 versions of Elmo, I usually paint him because I always think that kiddies prefer color and I think he looks better painted.  I have had the pattern for years and I have no idea where I got it from, so sorry about that.  As usual its cut from 3mm Marine ply.  Hope you like him.

Wonderful job on Elmo!

[Gordster]

He is perfect Marg.You did a fantastic paint job on him.

I bet if you tickle him he would giggle lol.

[Kepy]

I would think the painted version would be a hit with kids.  Great job.

He looks ok to me Marg,nothing wrong with that one well done.

They both came out great Marg. I did a few portraits of Betty Boop and Mickey Mouse and I had to paint them also. Just didn't look right not painted.

[Fish]

Both look great. I think kids would love both of them. I doubt the paint would make any difference.

[Scrappile]

That is a very cute one.  Should be very popular.

[frankorona]

Excellent work, both are fine, but prefer painted the children

Marg, I sure remember Elmo and your cuttings did him justice, I like them both but I prefer the painted version.

I am a big fan of color, and I love the raw one just as much.

You do beautiful work

I like the red one.  Is there any particular reason you use marine ply?

I love Jim Henson characters and you did Elmo wonderfully!

Rob BB is too expensive here same as it probably is in NZ so I find that Marine Ply cuts nicely, no voids, no break offs and comes in thin pieces that fit into bought frames.
