BIRDS (a bunch)

I thought I would post this group of cuts so you did not need to read the same thing over and over.  These are all patterns converted from ZM Creations Illustrations. 

All of these portraits were completed in a similar way with a smaller sized 5/32” thick solid core plywood cut panel affixed to a larger 1/4” thick BB plywood backer.  Each backer was sealed, then coated with the white Krylon Spray Gesso (Acrylic Paint primer) and the 1” borders were painted in various rattle can Krylon Fusion All-In-One Matt colors.  The areas under the open cut areas were colored with Acrylic Art Paints, using the original illustrations as a guide.  As usual, each panel was protected with multiple coats of clear gloss spray Lacquer. 

Each cut, being quite simple, was completed in less than one 3-4 hour session.  That was a one per day but painting and framing added many hours to each.  Cuttings were completed with Pegas #1 MGT R and/or #2/0 spiral blades. 

Each panel was set loose in a simple 1 3/4” wide Poplar frame that I applied a coat of pre-stain conditioner followed by a coat of Minwax Brazilian Gel Stain and protected with coat of Spray satin Polyurethane.

I really like these projects and your framing is fabulous also. I especially enjoyed the different choices for your matt colors, it shows how important the matt can be in a finished project. Thanks for posting I enjoyed viewing them all
