Girl with watering can

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.

paint it

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.

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.

Cut another one and paint both one black and one pastel.  Problem solved.

Here she is painted and the silhouette with a red backer, May try a black backer

Well done.  Great cutting and painting.

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.

Great job on cutting and painting. Nice pattern from Grampa.

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.
