Popular Post meflick Posted January 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Here are some of the projects I worked on last month. Of course, I didn't get near the items done that I intended to. I think I need to start my Christmas projects NOW so I might get them done for Christmas this year. But its so hard to work on Christmas in January and I am if nothing else, a poor procrastinator! These have been added to my Album as well. The flat hot air ballon ornament was a free pattern I created and provided for the Village Christmas Ornaments for Charity E-Book. That E-Book can be found here: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/files/file/3-ornaments-for-charity/ The Hot Air ballon file can be found in the 2018 files. The Power T and G Dawgs ornaments were ones I created for my personal use. I am a Univ. of TN grad and die hard Vol fan. My son will graduate from the Univ. of Georgia in May. Yes, he broke my heart with that choice. But, it could have been worse - at least he wasn't a Gator or a Tide fan! I cut these for him and myself. I have both for my tree. Maybe one day he will take a Power T and add it to his tree. The 3-D hot air ballon ornament was cut as a "trial" piece to see how they worked. It was cut from Balsa wood. I think that it is too soft and have plans to cut more from better wood. Need to get on it! The pattern for it was purchased from scrolleronline.com - pattern #8650SC. http://www.scrolleronline.com/product/Hot-Air-Balloon-Slotted-Ornament-Patterns/348 My original intent was to cut and give one to my cousin's daughter who got engaged last year on a hot air ballon ride! Didn't get that one done yet (but I will.) The Joy to the World word art is from the Holiday Scroll Sawing & Pattern Collection from Fall 2017. It was received free with my renewal of my subscription. The pattern its self is by John Nelson. I cut it the same size as from the pattern in the booklet, but I modified it to extend the W to the same length of the R and L and cut it from 3/4" wood so that it would be free standing. Lettering is definitely my nemesis so don't look to closely or be to critical of my skills. I know I need to work on it. The pattern collection can also be purchased on its own from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Scroll-Pattern-Collection-Woodworking/dp/1565239326/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1547131256&sr=8-35&keywords=scroll+saw+books The 3-D standing Snowman Candy Cane holder was a pattern I just thought was too cute. It was purchased from the Winfield Collection. Pattern #CS4052. I cut it all on my scroll saw except the arms and the legs and the "knots" for the knees. Those are purchased dowels and balls that I drilled the holes through for the dowels. I hand painted with acrylic paints. I followed their coloring layout because I liked it but if I make more, I will mix it up and paint in different colors and patterns. I kept this one for myself, but I had hope to make a couple more for Christmas gifts. Didn't happen (yet). You can find that pattern here: http://www.thewinfieldcollection.com/product/Candy_Cane_Holder_Woodcraft_Pattern/Snowmen-Woodcraft-Patterns The Christmas Card Holder was an original fretwork pattern that I found in the ScrollSaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine Holiday 2008 edition. I am not a big fan of CUTTING detailed fretwork generally so I took the pattern into my computer software, modified it in a couple of ways - mainly removing all the fretwork and cut it out on my scroll saw. I then downloaded the free snowman pyrography pattern from Lora S. Irish's website and burned it on the card holder side and then colored it with my colored pencils. You can find the free pattern for the snowmen on Lora's site here: https://www.lsirish.com/?s=holiday+cards This was what I was burning when I put a blister on my finger. Lesson learned - take breaks when burning!

Is that candy cane holder a download plan or do they send it via mail.....? My wife would love that. Paul, I ordered and it was sent via snail mail along with several other items I haven't gotten around to yet. I just went and double checked and it looks like that is only option to receive it. I think some people / companies are afraid to send things like patterns via digital downloads because they think sending it that way makes it to easy for someone to share/sell/give away to someone else. I understand that, in part, but also know that if someone really wants to do so, its not to hard to make a copy or scan it in and do so. Just a little bit more effort required. But like the old saying goes - locks were invented to keep honest people honest. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
