Popular Post oldhudson Posted November 10, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I have a daughter getting married in January. They've been a couple for 16 years and have lived together for a decade. They have a mortgage, car payments, 2 cats and a dog. I guess that's "commitment" in the 21st century. Anyway I tried to make a pattern with Inkscape, without success, and found this on Pinterest . I snagged a copy and enlarged a lot. Replaced the date and gave it a go. It's not perfect, you can see it doesn't 'flow'. This was my first attempt at this type of project. The stock is 7/16" cherry finished with mineral oil. But all things considered I'm pretty happy with it. And over the moon about the wedding. Maybe I'll get to be a granddad yet - who knows??? Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

spirithorse Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Excellent work! I certainly don't understand what you mean by "it doesn't flow" because I think it is perfect! Congratulations on the wedding coming up! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhudson Posted November 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) A couple of you fine scrollers mentioned my comment about flow. What I was referring to can best be seen in the "swash" of the F. The top and bottom strokes are not smooth, they're bumpy. The same is true on the upper left side of the heart. I guess we are out own worst critic and enemy - but to me they look like speed bumps in parking lot.

Goodness, you're almost as picky as I am I would never have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. As it was I had to go back and scrutinise it !!!
