Sycamore67 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I cut the Halloween images from a pattern by Sheila Landry and from the Scroll Saw magazine. They were cut from 1/8" baltic birch and then painted with acrylic paints. The base was a piece of 3/4" pine which was stained green and then 1/8" slots cut in it. I sent these to my grandkids and the slots allow them to move the pieces around and arrange them as they want. I also put the initials of my kids and grandkids in the ghosts. The witch is a hanging piece about 10" in diameter also cut from 1/8" baltic birch. One of the pictures shows my first attempts at getting a "crackle finish" on the ghosts. I did a couple of trials and finally found the best method for me to produce it. LarB, Gordster, Lucky2 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
