Kris Martinson Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I made this project using someone else's pattern (sorry I don't remember where I got it). I just added the lettering. My grandson calls me "Nono", which is an Italian version of Grandfather (it's a long story). I'm thinking of cutting out a space for a photograph just below the lettering, toward the left side. There is room for an oval opening there. What do you all think? lawson56, Scrolling Steve and New Guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Very nice project. I have seen the hands before but like you I can not remember who made the pattern. I do believe that a photo will look good there. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninuninu Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Great cut and just utterly adorable! The picture would really give it the final touch. Tony Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Kris, I like the idea of adding a picture to the cutting, but, who is the picture going to be of? You, your grandson, or both of you?Plus, is there enough room for a large enough picture? Adding a picture that is to small wouldn't be good, it could ruin the look of the cutting. I'm very interested in seeing what you come up with in the end, so, please post a pic of the finshed product. Len Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveww1 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 very nice, a picture of you with your grandson will really finish it. Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Martinson Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) I decided to cut as large a space as possible and add a photo. Oval shape was the best fit. After all this, I am now cutting another one for my grandson's other (maternal) grandfather. On his, I will squeeze the lettering to make more room for a larger photo. I'm going to give it to my daughter-in-law so she can give it to her father for Father's Day. Thank you all for your kind and helpful comments. I love this group. You are all so supportive.
