Ornaments For Charity - Pattern Drive 2015


Travis

Recommended Posts

Halloween is over and Christmas is right around the corner. Scrollers are starting to think about gifts and patterns to cut for loved ones.  But since the Holiday season is also about helping others in need, we're continuing our tradition here at Scroll Saw Village as a way to give back.  This will be our 6th year of publishing an e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. This popular e-Book was featured last year in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine.  Our ornaments designs are exclusive to this eBook and designed by SSV members. Anyone are can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. Our hope is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes, and provide some cool patterns at the same time.
 
But we need your help!
 
 
So I'll need some volunteers to design some ornaments.

  • Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less)
  • I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book)
  • They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns)
  • Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by Wednesday, November 25th (info below)

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Religious and secular designs are accepted.
  • Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so lets not forget them.
  • Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament.
  • Don't submit copyrighted or licensed patterns.
  • The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think.  Get them to me ASAP. 

What do you get in exchange?

  • Credit for your design.
  • The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need.

Submitting your ornaments:

  • Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me.
  • Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & White only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook.
  • I'll also accept Inkscape files (SVG). This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way there is no conversion.

If you haven't seen it yet, here's our article in Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts from last year:

So far we have:

 

  • Travis
  • DonR - Patterns Received
  • WayneMahler
  • Trip - Patterns Received
  • jesse - Patterns Received
  • bobscroll

Who's in!   :santa:

To all who take the time designing ornaments

A BIG THANK YOU

For us non designers, we can still do our part.

If you read Travis's post, his simple request is that

a donation be made to your favorite charity.

That is not asking a lot at all.

If you don't have a favorite charity, look around you,

I'm positive someone needs help in one way or another in your area.

Thanks again
