Charles Dearing Patterns Cut

Recommended Posts

Two Charles Dearing patterns I have cut recently.
I colorized one and kind of regret doing so now. You be the judge.

The deer are just on a leather seat for the pic and the wolves are on a blue blanket.
I don't know how I plan to frame them yet.
The deer pattern is about 9" x 11" and the wolves are about 10 1/2" x 14 3/4".
Cut with my go to #5 Ultra Reverse blades. I haven't practiced with spirals enough to be comfortable with them.

Thanks for viewing and comments welcome. God Bless! Spirithorse

You learned how to ride a bike because you wanted too. Once to master the spirals it becomes second nature to you.the trick is move half as fast cutting and a tight blade. You can do it. Now talk me into being able to bend notes on the harmonica. I played 65 years and still can only bend on note#6???

Very nice cuttings. I’ll be honest. I do like the coloured one because it’s different, it just doesn’t seem like you finished colouring. I would do the ears and neck too, and a little bit more contrast so the two deer don’t blend into each other. 

@TomanydogsThanks, Irene, but, I thought if I was going to colorize it, I wanted it to be as true to life as possible and those
areas of the deer are usually white.  I just may have to re-think that and make some changes to see if I can sell it.

I truly appreciate the input!

Sorry I didn’t see it as white. I thought it was just the raw BB ply. I know you’ll come up with a solution that you’re happy with.

Aha! You are correct. I did just leave it as the raw BB but, you have opened my eyes that perhaps I should brighten that with some
white!  Also, since the pattern was not really as true to life as I would have liked, I will probably delineate between the Buck and Doe
with a darker shade or wood burn or something.   Thanks and God Bless! Spirithorse
