WPAP

[Tomanydogs]

WPAP is an abbreviation and stands for “Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait “. I made this French Bulldog WPAP style. Cut on 1/4” bb ply 215 pieces 86 different colours. I created the different levels by using a glue gun and glueing it where I wanted it. I attached a few spacers so that the head would sit off the backer. The backer is 1/8” bb ply covered front and back with cloth material. The 19 X 17” frame is made from wooden laths glued together.

Great work...a very interesting unusual process.

I love that I'm seeing more of us doing projects with color.  There is a lot to say about simple B&W scroll saw projects but a little (or in this case a lot of ) color adds a lot to a project.

ARF! (ALL RIGHT! FINE)

Something else for me to aspire to.

Just wondering if, by any chance, you might edit your original post to add a little description under each photo of what we are looking at?  It is a very interesting end result, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the photos along the way.

Also, again just wondering, what was your reasoning for chosing to use a fabric as a backer?

[rdatelle]

That's what I call above and beyond. Way to complicated for me to do.

[Roberta Moreton]

That really pops!

[Dave Monk]

Totally amazing! What type of paint do you use?

I wanted to post it as you suggested, but I wasn’t able to do it that way on my phone. Wasn’t able or couldn’t figure out how. Sorry. 
I used fabric because I thought it would soften the piece and make it more appealing. Putting the fabric on the backer was extremely easy.I glued the fabric to the front then fastened the head to the backer with a brad nailer nailing into my spacers then attached the back fabric.

I used acrylic paint, had to mix most of the colours to get all the different shades. I used brushes that I got from IKEA years ago. Wonderful little brushes the bristles don’t come loose and there are next to no stroke lines.

Kevin you are very sweet. This was an easy project, just the painting is very time consuming.

This sure is an 'artsy' project. You have quite a talent going. Unusual and very stunning to the eye.
