Popular Post Charlie E Posted October 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) I hung the 100th portrait in my shop today. There are a few I didn't count since they aren't really portraits, like Groot, The Weeping Angel and a couple of signs. If I counted correctly there are 146 individual faces in the 100 portraits. So glad I somehow stumbled into this hobby. So many hours of fun, frustration , and therapy.

Scrappile Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 That is pretty darn Cool. The only other person I know that has something comparable to that is @munzieb with all his neat cars and planes pictures. All my pictures sit in a box waiting for the big bonfire the kid are planing to have when I an gone.. meflick, Gene Howe and Charlie E 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my pictures sit in a box waiting for the big bonfire the kid are planing to have when I an gone.. Exactly what'll probably happen to mine. I hope they at least look on the back first because I've put their names of a few of them if it's a singer or actor they like. I'm planning to be cremated so maybe they can just throw them in with me and save time.

John B Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I reckon you could have a showing at a gallery with that lot Charlie. I have photo's of all mine If I hung any in my shed you would not be able to tell in a few months as they would be covered in dust. Just write prices on the back of them all, and I'll bet they go on ebay, not the fire when you give up the ghost Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'm like Hawk. I need wall space to hang some of my work. Right now they are just piled in a cabinet. Beautiful work you have there. Congrats on the 100. Now start working on 200! Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarud Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I like that one on the right.. no,, the other right. LOL ...and I think picture frames are over rated. I am working on remodeling my shop.. almost done. I was hoping that I would have some room to hang some of the things that I have made once I am done but it doesn't look like I will have much room.

new2woodwrk Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Freakin'-INCREDIBLE!

I don’t dislike frames, I just like cutting thicker wood and I like the finished project to look like what it is. A picture cut in a chunk of wood.

Great collection! Thanks for show your work. I thought I recognized Hoss. I gotta get back into scrolling and pattern making again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta get back into scrolling and pattern making again. I have highs and lows in my scrolling addiction. Hoss got me hooked on portraits. Glad you shared him. Sometimes I look at all of them and wonder why, but I think, I enjoy it, is reason enough. I think most everyone enjoys creating something.

John B Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 If I had to guess which was your 1st, I would of said Clint, not because it's bad, but it's a simple cut. I have made a number of them. I did notice a glaring omission ...................................................
