Popular Post Scrappile Posted January 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I'm am adding this here from the "Works in Progress" forum hoping to get some more comment. I'm thinking about donating this to the "Friends of the NRA" banquet along with the 2nd Amendment plaque they request from me. I'd like to add some red, white and blue some where to it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. "Completed the cutting of this picture called "Guardian" and is a Charles Hand pattern. I've been playing around with it and the backer. Someway I want to do the backer/frame in red, white and blue. like the American flag. Not quite sure if that is going to work out or not. I have sorta/kinda a picture in my pea brain, but not sure how to work it out."

The only thought that came to mind is a transparent red white and blue flag on clear plastic over the top of the scroll work top to bottom so you could see the eagle right thru it! Just my 2 cents worth!!!!!! Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not sure if it is available or not but in your craft stores like Michael's, they may have a paper USA flag. That is an inexpensive way to find out if your idea works. Just and idea. That is one fabulous looking eagle and mean too. Great work Paul.

rjR Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Extremely nice work. I would add a decal of a lever action rifle along the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 That looks great, well done also. Like the idea of a flag background. Can't wait to see how you finish it up. Thanks for the look at it so far. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 You could print a flag and experiment with different sizes to see how it looks. Super nice cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Okay, got it done today. I think my son will be happy. He spoke for it and he is more important to me than a Friends of the NRA banquet. Not much more important,,,, but a little.

WayneG Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 ya that is spectacular man, the flag is not overpowering the piece which is critically important if you ask me. truly one of the nicest pieces I have seen on this site. Congratulations on a wicked accomplishment Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Mine is 85% of the original size. I lost a little on the sides when I printed it. the actual cut out part is around 8 1/4" x 10" not including the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
