At Last, Photos.

Even though I haven't post anything I have been working but I have also been teaching a 19yo girl to scroll and she is loving it.  Any way here are a few things I have made.
They are all Sue Mey patterns.  The first Christmas Bells are made from 2.5mm Bamboo, the second ones are made from 4mm pine and so are the gnomes.  They are all for a Christmas in July driveway market at my daughters.

Beautiful work, Marg. The ornaments are really crisp, and the gnomes seem to be a hit now days. Hope the driveway market is a success!

I do like the gnomes.  They have nice colors also. . 

A 19 year old is interested.   That is amazing. 

 

I noticed that a bell has a face. 

Is this suppose to have a mean face ?

Very pretty Marg. I love the bells.
The Bamboo is nice and clear, do you have any problems with it chipping. I have never used it.

Turn it upside down, it will become a happy face

Lovely work Marge. Good to. Hear you are teaching a young new scroller.

[CSull]

Great looking cuts and kudos for introducing a new scroller to cut!

[Dave Monk]

Nice work Marg. So much fun when you can share your passion with a young'un.

  Nice to see  your work here. I bet those pieces sell really fast with the nice cutting and the colorful painting. Let us know how things went/

The only problem is when you take the pattern off, the fibres lift up a lot but sanding soon does away with them.  You just have to be careful that you don't get any splinters in your fingers that you don't notice, they can become infected fast.

Perhaps hit them with a heat gun for a bit to loosen the glue.
I've done that a few times and its worked for me.

I just reread your post. The Christmas in July driveway market at your daughters sounds fun. Is it a neighborhood thing?

It wasn't last year but it could quite possible be this year, because when the neighbours came round they thought it was a terrific idea and said that they may be interested if they had enough things to sell.  Last year the Saturday was a lot better than the Sunday.
