Popular Post John B Posted July 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I have just finished cutting the Mandalorian pattern by Helder Botas and have added another of his patterns (shrunk) of "the Child) in the top right cnr. Cut from 4mm Hoop Pine Ply using #3 FDUR and #2FD New Spirals. One of the Mandalorian pics has glitter applied to the backer. It is hard to photograph so I've posted a few of it to give the idea. You may have click on the pics to enlarge them so as to see the glitter. I think it adds another dimension which I like. The others are of Slim Dusty, I have cut him many times before, however this time I used a thinner frame and also matted one.

John B Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Here is a full size pic. When you enlarge it the glitter shows up. It changes colour as you look from different angles (at the real thing) Edited July 28, 2022 by John B danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Beautiful pieces, John. I do like the one where you added a little backer border beyond the cut piece. Seems to draw the eye to the black within the picture a little better. Great job on all of them however. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rodney, This is the 1st time I have tried this method of framing and I have to agree with you. I like it a lot. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Oh excellent work John. I can just see the glitter at the bottom, I bet it looks fabulous. I too have cut Slim Dusty many times, a very popular man. Marg John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cutting is the result of a good glass and light. Mistakes look huge, but in reality they are not. I think that I will 19 - 25mm matt all I frame with the thinner frame from now on.

Charlie E Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Great job on those! My grandkids have discovered The Mandalorian. My 5 year old granddaughter cried when baby Yoda ate the frog eggs. I hadn't heard of Slim Dusty so I pulled up a couple of songs on Youtube. I like him a lot. That'll give me a new one to listen to in the shop. Thanks. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdneal Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Love the frames. I have to learn to do framing myself. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the show He would come back on stage and spend hours just chatting and signing autographs. Mt Eldest son was about 8 when I took him to one and Slim asked for him to be passed up on the stage, sat him on his knee and signed a photo for him. He still has it, pride of place. "The Pub with No Beer" was his 1st big hit and it probably still holds some records in Oz. "Lights on the Hill" is one of my many favourites.
