Wood Portrait of my step-son from many years ago !!

[Marshall]

This is a Portrait of our son from over twenty years ago , I cut a Portrait of our youngest son and it was a great cutting . And I havn't been real happy with the out-come of this one > the wife picked this picture out to make the pattern from . I sent this to Steve Good and he forwarded me back a reply back saying that this was a hard picture to cut from and it made me feel some what better . The picture is here and the cuttings . Any comments are welcome , I am determined to do better on the next Portrait that I cut for sure . I'm wanting to grow in scrolling and not fail .....I not feeling sorry for myself thou .....Marshall

Hi Marshall,

 

I know you didn't ask for it, but I give it a try and made this pattern for you.

Hope you like it.

Happy new year to you and yours

It looks like you did a good job on it. Its certainly a tricky picture to pull a pattern from. The flash from the camera probably washed out most of the shadows, which we depend on. I know you already have it cut, but I gave it a try anyway. This is what I came up with.

Thanks so much Frieke and Travis , I went aheard and printed these two Patterns off anyway . I've already mailed one of the finished pieces off , in the picture it doesn't look like he has any lips > I thank you two so much . Maybe later on I'll cut another Portrait >I don't know right now . .Happy New Year to you ......
