Helenm2807 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've been meaning to get around to doing a scrollsaw portrait of my husband, Ken, for some time. Finally did it. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You did a great job Helen. Did you also make the pattern? Thanks for sharing it with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helenm2807 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes I made the pattern from a photograph. I have this great computer program that lets you fiddle with photo's in all sorts of ways - one of which is to turn them into pure black and white and then adjust the black and white levels. It only really works with certain photo's where there is quite a bit of detail or light and shade. Ken's beard and hair were ideal subjects. I've helped other forum people out in the past with this program - one of a little girl called Zahra a while ago and the other of a guys granddaughter (I think the post is called Grandbaby).

wombatie Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thats great Helen you did a marvelous job. I did have a program like that but when my computer crashed last year it also went. Tried to put it on the new computer but with no luck so I am without a program now. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
