Anniversary plaque for Daughter and Her Husband

[MarieC]

This a modified Charlie  @Charlie E rendition.  Thank you Charlie!  I changed the pattern he sent me because I wanted an Irish look (since they love Ireland)  I had to actually cut and paste the letters and used white-out to make the pattern I wanted, plus she likes plants/trees so I added some leaves.  Attached is the pattern Charlie made me as well as my final work.  I also decided to do some hand carving since I wanted a bit more depth.  I used green satin fabric in epoxy for the background over a thin sheet of Paruvian walnut.

Beautiful job! I’ve never been in an Irish pub but it looks like it would be right at home in one.

Marie, excellent craftsmanship, RJ

 Marie has the "artist's touch".  Never just a plain flat cut like me.  She knows how to embellish.  She is an artist!

Thanks Paul.  It was difficult to photograph.  The background is really sparkly but it didn't come out.  I will try to remember it bring it with me when I come down and see you....

Barb @barb.j.enders, thank so much!   I took calligraphy in college so I tried to remember all the directions the letters were shaped.  I goofed on a few but for the most part I think I remember correctly.  It was really not too hard to do.  Thanks again!

Your artistic touches is what makes the items you make so extra special, not only for the person you made it for but also for all of us in The Village who enjoy as well.

Dick, Thanks so very much!  Coming from you, that is quite the compliment!   I did give it to them yesterday and now they will put it right by their front door.  They really did like it.   Thanks so much!
