October - Scroll Saw Challenge

Recommended Posts

Decided to make a Halloween lamp this year, and came up with the lamp below.  Saw where Steve Good had used a flame effect led bulb in a project and liked the idea a lot, so I got one for this project.  The flickering light from this bulb really makes the lamp interesting.

The image of the cat is downloaded from the internet.

Cut from 1/4" BB, with a frosted mylar sheet for the background.  Spray painted black.  About 6" wide and 8" high and 3" deep.

I don't know why the light from the bulb is yellow, in real life it is all pumpkin orange, like the color in the bats.  Guess using a phone to take pictures is iffy.

Very nice. Where did you get the patterns?  I would like to try it.

The "Pumkins" are cut from 1/2 X !2 X 12 Sanded Ply from patterns purchased from https://theholzbrothers.com/ ($3.79/downloadable).  You can get any name of letter you want.  Painted with rattel can orange and acrylic green for the stem.

The "Happy Fall Y'All" is a Steve Good  pattern.  He gives you a small and a large pattern.  I did the large approximately 12 X 11.  I used 1/4 BB for the cut and afixed to 1/2" sanded ply backer painted dark brown.  The Leaves were painted with acrylic craft paint.  Applied a multi coats of polyurethane  to make it suitable for outdoor use.

Need some help for colors of Christmas ornaments'. Scrolled the Steve Good patterns, now wife says they need some color kids like colors..

So i could use some advise.

There are several ways to go: stains like Unicorn Spit, acrylic paints from any craft section [Hobby Lobby,  Walmart, JoAnn Fabric, Michael's, etc.]

Of course, you could go with enamel like model paints-depending on the area to be covered.
