Old Joe Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) .....I come across another piece by scrollsaw goddess Fiona Kingdon on her Facebook page. All done in thick wood, layered, no pattern, she just starts cutting and waits to see what will come about with her single speed Hegner.This one is just stunning. And humbling.

JimErn Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Amazing work. People who can "see" the art without a pattern amaze me, one (now ex) son in law drew cowboy cartoons, when I asked him how he did it, he said wasn't really an artist, he just traced what he saw in his mind. tomsteve, lawson56, OCtoolguy and 3 others 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have to go look at her site every once and a while just to be amazed. She really paints with a scroll saw. Very talented. John B, OCtoolguy and Old Joe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Sometimes the question of art vs craft comes up, relative to scrollsawing. I submit that Ms Kingdon is exhibit A for the artist side of that debate. Old Joe, Be_O_Be, Jim McDonald and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with people who do the chainsaw carvings. I WISH I had that kind of talent! I just trace a line with a blade that someone else drew.
