Had to cut this one

[heppnerguy]

I ran across this pattern, which by the way was not a scroll saw pattern, and liked it so much I printed it so my wife could look at it later that day. Immediately she said that she really liked it and wanted me to cut it. I told her that it was not a scroll saw pattern and it  was not a really clear photo of it anyway. Well my wife usually gets her way, so I told her I would try  to look it up again and see if I could get a clearer look at it, but I could not find it again, so I enlarged it and gave it a go. I was going to make a frame for it and make a rectangular background but she did not want one like that. So I made an extended background and painted it with three different colors, as I did. So this is how it came out. Reminds me of something from a kids story book about witches or something like that.

That's beautiful, Dick. Great eye finding something that wasn't designed as a scroll saw pattern! Chances are you have the only one like it.

Great scrolling, Dick.  You are really stepping things up a notch with the colors.  Very beautiful.

I bet it's a paper cutting pattern.  You certainly did it justice.  Beautifully done.  Found it!  Better late then never.........................lol.

WOW Avery nice you did an excellent job

Beautiful piece, excellent cutting, RJ

VERY nicely cut!!!  I've found there are a TON of great papercutting patterns that lend themselves nicely to the scroll saw, @ChelCass beat me to it. 

 

I like the multi-tone background, too, I gave that a try with two colors on a jellyfish kirigami papercutting pattern recently and was VERY pleased with how it turned out.

Fabulous cutting Dick

Looks like some mighty delicate cuts, Dick. You did an outstanding job. Especially if the pattern you had was blurry.

thank you so much Peter. I thought this sort of looked like it came from a 1950's Disney movie. but I was happy to cut it because it looked like it presented a bit of a challenge for me.

I really do not see the beauty in it but I did see that it would be a bit of a challenge for me. I cut it with a #1 Pegas spiral.  I am beginning to love the spiral blade more and more.

I don't  know that it is a terrific job but I did find it rewarding to be able to even cut it.

It caught my eye because it had so much going on in it and just had to give it a go but then, after my wife saw the pattern I really did not have a choice in the matter, did I?

I do not have the colorization going too well but I do enjoy trying to add some interest in my backer boards by using multi colors there. Thank you for your nice comments.

There it is alright. I could not relocate it. I forgot where I had seen it. My capture was not nearly as sharp as was yours so I was not sure I could do it any justice at all. But that said I was somewhat pleased with the outcome. Thank you for your post

I'm glad you liked the multicolored backer boards. I also think they at some eye appeal and interest to a project, especially when one is not an expert at painting them, like me.

I don't believe I have seen you post on the jellyfish but I will be looking for it
