Popular Post ChelCass Posted July 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 14 Cut and sanded now do I stain or paint. If paint do I do black for a silhouette or pastels. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! lol Thanks to Grampa (Paul) for the great pattern. I truly appreciate your help.

FrankEV Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Well, such a dilemma! A silhouette is a good Idea, but a collorful paint job would be better, IMHO. How tall is the cutting? If small, it could be mounted on a stake and used in an indoor garden. If large (over 8" tall), I feel it could to be mounted on a nice thick oval backer for a nice plaque type wall hanging. Simple, but elegant. I might even suggest, to complete the scene, you could cut out a image of a simple small potted plant to sit just in front of the watering can. Just my 2 cents. barb.j.enders and Roberta Moreton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is about 5 inches and I plan on cutting some flowers to go with her. I am also going to do a larger version 8-10 inches and make her into a wind charm/sun catcher with flowers and watering cans hanging off her skirt. The silhouette I have is going to have a backer. barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelCass Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, I flipped the little girl over and painted it solid black. I wanted to see how she would look and I must say I like. So now I know she will look good painted and also as a silhouette. barb.j.enders, danny and Fab4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelCass Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Ok I decided to cut a second one, but I upsized her to 120. Plus I added a little bling. Think I will do a 160 or 180 and make into a windchime. FrankEV and Fab4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
