Popular Post FrankEV Posted May 31 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31 The simple line drawings of RED LIP LADIES IN HATS are prolific online and most are stock images that cost little or nothing to obtain. There are also a lot the simple line drawings of RED LIP LADIES and RED WINE. With only minor conversion work needed, using Inkscape to make scrollable patterns from these simple line drawings is a snap. The patterns were each designed for an 11x14 panel. However, for these projects I printed them out scaled down in Adobe to fit 8x10 panels. As usual, the cut panels are 5/32” Maple Solid Core Ply and backers are 1/4” BB Ply. The backers were painted Black with, of course, Red for lips, accessories, fingernails, and wine. And, as usual, painting was done with an Air Brush using Artist Acrylic Air Brush Paints. Although the individual panels were rather simple cuts, using mainly Pegas #2/0 spiral blades and Pegas #1 MGT R blades for the smooth long cuts, the 10 panels did take quite a while to complete. Handling each individually, from start to finish, was quite time consuming. Then there was my choice to make gang frames. IMHO, the smaller panels look better in narrow rail frames, especially when ganged. Although all the construction is like what I do when I make my standard 1 3/4” wide rail frames, the narrow rails are difficult work with. This added a lot of time to the project. The frames were primed and painted Matt Black. Between our cruise, major yard projects, dealing with a stomach bug, and slipping in the Abstract Art Cat and Dog cuttings, this is the results of what has been occupying my shop time over the past few weeks.

jerry walters Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 WOW Frank. They all look great. Simple beauty. The frames really add to the display. These should be hanging in a art museum. If there is one you don't like let me know, I will take it off your hands. Jerry FrankEV, OCtoolguy and danny 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 (edited) But you forgot the red lipped cowgirl !! Nice project. The ganged panel makes it standout more. Plus you can up the cost. Maybe some wine tasting room will purchase it. Me. Mark Eason Edited June 1 by preprius OCtoolguy and FrankEV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIrving Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Very cool Frank! And quite striking in those frames! I did the search on "red lip ladies in hats line drawings" and found endless line drawings which are almost scroll ready. Likewise for "RED LIP LADIES and RED WINE line drawings".

Eventhoug it would go with the HATs, i did not want to redo as an 8x10. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Frank, it's so obvious that you truly enjoy your work. I am trying to get my feet wet with the adding color thing but so far, it's more a lesson in frustration. Mostly my ignorance and no artistic imagination. You've mastered it and I envy you. Everything you've done as of late is truly beautiful. Please keep them coming. I am enjoying every one of them. danny and FrankEV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
