Popular Post Charlie E Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Obviously inspired by Fiona Kingdon's art I thought this piece of spalted oak with worm holes had a story to tell. While cutting the scene and listening to my Daughter's Echo Dot the old hymn He Leadeth Me Came on. I think this line from the song fits the piece very well. I don't have any artistic ability so I used 3 pieces of clip art to get an outline of the ship, lighthouse, and birds. It is about 6" X 11".

Didn't mean to fish for a compliment. I just really can't draw a good stick man, or write neatly for that matter. Very envious of people who can draw well. Don't think that's something that can be taught when you've got nothing to build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Absolutely beautiful! I think part of your artistic ability is shown by the dimensions you used. I probably would have made the images larger, there-by possibly over-powering the project images for the sake of easier cutting. Thanks for sharing and God Bless!

Rockytime Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I love the old song. I especially like the choice of wood. The grain almost looks like an open sea. Charlie E and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Regardless of how you came up with the pictures you turned it into art on the PERFECT piece of wood. Excellent workmanship. Marg Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Love it especially where the light house sits on the knot looks like a beach. Roly Charlie E and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Your artistic talent is in how you chose the wood and decided what to cut. I think it's a work of art and I'd proudly have that on my wall. amazingkevin and Charlie E 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
