Scrolling Steve Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 This was cut from 1/2 poplar using Pegas #3 mg blades....finished with a 50/50 mix Blo & Mineral spirits ......Tried something different and covered the backer with foil, not sure i would do that again..The picture is not as clear as i had wanted but the best i could do...Comments welcome...The piece is 11 x 7....Thanks for looking, Steve. meflick, Lucky2, New to Scrollin and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well done Steve. Not sure about the foil backing. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Nice job. I wonder what the effect would be if you wadded the foil, then flattened it out for a backer. Might give more of a water look,,,, just a suggestion. Looks nice the way it is though. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Downes Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Real nice work. Here are 2 pieces where I was experimenting and painted one of the backers with a light and dark blue metallic paint and the other using just the dark blue to make it ;look like water.

John B Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I like it Steve. Ity's hard to get a nice picture that tells the whole story with reflective materials. I have used mirrored perspex as backing for some of my small boxes. Everybody liked the effect. (they must of as they sold pretty quick ) Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimErn Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Rather than foil, I use an acrylic mirror, it cuts with scissors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXE417D/?coliid=I2WISXKPFMDEAC&colid=3FFU56ZXONLUZ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 That is lovely. Not sure about the foil because it doesn't show up to well but the cutting and pattern are great. Marg Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
