My sheperd (Made changes posting)

[NiTay614]

This is the cut portrait. I have included an example of what I was suggesting when I expressed my use of tape in the posting asking for advice on thin cuts. This has been a real work of heart and test on my patience and artistic capabilities. I am questioning adding detail to Jesus' hand and arm. Other than that I am pleased. I have sent an email to Jan Szafranski who is the artist who drew Christ with lamb. Will post the pattern when I hear from him based on the changes I made to my original. I have made three cuttings as I worked through this pattern development. If anyone is interested in seeing the progession let me know. Again thanks for the advice and suggestions afforded.

Hello Nitay,

I like it the way it is! You done a great job on the cutting and a beautiful pattern!

Thank you! i DID A LOT OF STUDYING AND OBSERVING AND PULLING OUT MY HAIR. i EVEN QUESTIONED WHY I CHOSE THIS PROJECT. My answer is because what the original art work provided for me when I needed support.

What can I say? It is truly beautiful and you must be very proud. Please don't add any detail - it's wonderful as it is.

Thats a beautiful cutting Nita thanks for not giving up with the pattern, it was worth it in the end.............Paul

Thanks Paul. I am really pleased with it. The first cutting made Jesus look kind of ghostly, and the second made Him appear sort of child like. It took a lot of observing and Filters to bring out details. It is not an exact replication of Jan's portrait, but art is not about replication, it's about what one makes another see.
