Popular Post heppnerguy Posted September 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 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.

Charlie E Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 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. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 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. heppnerguy and ChelCass 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Looks like some mighty delicate cuts, Dick. You did an outstanding job. Especially if the pattern you had was blurry. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Great eye finding something that wasn't designed as a scroll saw pattern! Chances are you have the only one like 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?

Very beautiful. 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.

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.

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 Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
