Popular Post FrankEV Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 OK, got things done a little quicker than expected before we leave on our trip, so I get to post this last, at least for the foreseeable future, completed piece. This was again a free stencil image I found On-line and converted to a Scroll Saw pattern. Really, not very much conversion was needed other than adjusting the size to fit a 9” x 12” cut panel. The cut panel is 5/32” Solid Core Maple Ply and the cutting was done with Pegas#2/0 spiral blades. Just about 100 holes and used only two blades. My ratio of holes to broken blades is getting better . The Backer is a ¼” x 11” x 14” BB ply that was hand painted. Of course, the 1” border was just spray painted with Krylon All-in-one paint and primer Coffee Bean. The area under the cutting was first coated with Gesso (a White Acrylic art paint primer) and then hand painted with Acrylic Artist Paints. As the pattern is relatively simple, I was able to use a couple of copies of the cutting pattern to use as general area painting stencils. Made life a little easier for this step. I also painted some additional areas on the cut panel to help enhance the image. And, once again the assembled panel was protected with multiple coats of Deft Lacquer. In my previous post “Love Stem Roses – A different Version”, Fab4 replied that the Roses should have been Yellow or white, but we all know that Love and Red Roses go together. So, since this piece has nothing to do specifically with Love, I took his suggestion and painted these Roses Yellow. The custom frame is once again made from 1¾" wide poplar, stained with Minwax Cherry and finished with two coats of Minwax Gloss Wipe-on Poly. Don’t forget, critique of my work is always welcomed and appreciated. If you haven’t already, please check out my recent post "Gonna be gone for a while." in the Coffee House Forum.

TexasDIY Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) I really like how you are putting color not just on the backer, but on the front scroll cut piece as well. Thanks for sharing the details! Edited July 18, 2021 by TexasDIY typo FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to try something similar. This Rose pattern was quite simple to cut and fairly easy to paint. I've included the pattern below. For those who would like to try adding color to your work, this would be a good one to use. A couple of very inexpensive bottles of acrylic paint and some cheap brushes would be all needed. I would suggest along with what ever color you use, get a bottle of white to be able to mix for some lighter shades where needed. Hobbie Lobby, Michaels and even Walmart are sources for paints and brushes. I would love to throw out a challenge to any and all who migt like to experiment with color...download the pattern, cut it and then try addding the coloring. Then come back and post your work. It would be great fun to see a group of postings of the same piece to see how you all did. Roses a Bunch.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
