Popular Post FrankEV Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is another free bird pattern which I found on the Craftsmanspace website. I used Inscape to resize and convert to a red line with light grey Pattern. The cut panel is 5/32” x 10” x 14” Birch solid core Plywood affixed to a ¼” x 12” x 16” BB Ply backer. And, although the site stated that it was a scroll saw pattern, it was a very difficult cut as many of the lines were very close to each other, just about touching, even at the larger size I chose to make it. Also, this pattern was different in that the cuts created both a “positive” and “negative” images making the coloring slightly more difficult as both the backer and cut panel required to be painted. After applying a coat Gesso to the backer and areas on the top panel that was to be painted, all the painting was done with Acrylic Art paints except the border which was painted with a Blue rattle can spray paint. The final panel was protected with multiple coats of clear gloss spray Lacquer. There was no colored illustration available, so after looking at some bird photos, it seemed to me that the birds looked a lot like Black Cap Chickadees, so it was yellow for the birds with red flowers and green leaves. And, once again, the panel was set loose in a simple 1 3/4” wide Poplar frame, which after treating with a wood condition, was stained with Minwax Honey Maple stain and then protected with spray clear satin polyurethane. I’m thinking this will be the last of the “birds” I do for a while as I’m sure most of you are bored with these posts. I have to find some new different challenges. young ned, amazingkevin, preprius and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
