Peace & Love - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

I went to the big box store to pick up a couple of things and I saw this guy with a long salt-and-peppered beard and a bright tie-dye t-shirt.  He looked like he stepped straight out of Woodstock.  When I got home, I looked up Woodstock.  I guess it was August 15-18, 1969.  It was meant to be a 3-day music festival, but it certainly turned into a symbol of the era.  So, I thought it would be fun to do a scroll saw challenge about peace, love, and everything groooovy.  Like the other scroll saw challenges, it is open to interpretation.  From hippies to VW vans, peace signs to bubble letters, music icons or just some funky project you made.  Have fun with it!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

This is a tough challenge for sure.  So it might take a bit of thinking and loose association....LOL.

Here's mine.  I made this for my son when he was little.  He liked playing with matchbox cars, so I made this wavy rainbow so that he can run his cars through the tunnels.  it's kinda hippy-like.    He actually played with it a fair amount, which surprised me.  Sometimes the simplest toys are the best toys.

How about a little flower power.

Table plaque made from 1/2” Cherry. Cut with Flying Dutchman UR #3 blades. Finished with my 50/50 blend of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits, then top coated with spray semi gloss Laquer. I don’t remember where the pattern came from.

The 60's were about acceptance, this is the closest I've done. Not my best work, I was asked to make something for a fundraiser a day before it was happening. I think it was a take on a Sue Mey pattern.

A handful of "love" related pieces I've done over the years (in no particular order). 

 

The wolf bookmarks stem from a love of reading, I've handed out quite a few of those to others. 

 

And what goes better with reading than a nice cuppa coffee!!  Caffeinated, for me. 

 

As a military history buff and Navy vet, I still love this country (which has nothing to do with political parties).

 

My wife loves gnomes....I've done a couple of them for her, but found the "rock on!" gnomie and that one just screamed for a colorful background.  Googled "tye-dye wallpaper", printed it, and it makes for a killer background.

 

Sign language spells L-O-V-E.

 

Not sure where the sculpture pattern came from, that was a couple of years ago.

So I also want to nominate pattern makers.  @alexfox

My cutting / paint does not do his pattern justice

I just love the groovy gnome!  So cool!

Dave's love bus could be family portrait frame.    Put the kids in the back.

Found the pattern from YouTube video
