Popular Post flarud Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Many a patterns stacked up and waiting to be cut while I was remodeling my shop the last few months! This is one of them. Barb posted some of these that she recently cut and it reminded me to get busy! My wife loves snowmen items for Christmas, so my plan was to cut a few for her. I may send these out as Christmas cards this year if I can get enough made soon enough. Steve Good pattern, made from 3/4" MDF from a rotatory table that I just torn apart. Wife painted with some acrylic paint. RabidAlien, keefie, BadBob and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Great job. I love that you actually used buttons. How did you do the eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Nice work. I have one I cut as one piece and then hand carved. Was going to paint, haven’t gotten there yet so was waiting to post. was thinking of cutting one with segmentation as Steve designed or as true Intarsia. So many ideas, so little time. Hopefully mine look as cute as yours and Barb’s if I ever get there. 9 hours ago, wombatie said: Love it. I may have to find that pattern for next year.

How did you do the eyes? I had some Oak plugs that I made years ago.. I sliced them in half and then shaped using a sander,,, and yes,, I lost a little bit of finger skin from the sander. Next time I will use pliers to hold the little pieces! LOL I cut one out last night and actually cut out the black circles on the stomach. I'll see how it turns out, using the buttons is definitely faster though. Thanks for cutting yours and reminding me that I had printed patterns a while back to cut.

I figured that doing this in Segmentation is a good start and good practice. I actually visited JGR's shop about a year and a half ago,, words can't describe what she has hanging on her walls! meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about Judy's shop. Amazing work throughout from years of working and doing Intarsia and patterns. I only live about 30-40 minutes away from her and have been fortunate to be able to go and take her classes - that is actually when I started - I took her beginner class to learn. You are right, segmentation is a good way to start to learn about cutting the pieces and shaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Maggie Valley area, then we mosey over to Sevierville area and usually find ourselves in PF and Gat. I am not ruling out retiring in that area.
