TXScrollsawartist Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just cut a special piece for this weekend. The pirate Anne Bonny. The design is by Sue Mey (purchased from Wooden Teddy Bear) and is based on a wood cut print from a 1724 book about pirates. It was stack cut from 11x14 1/8th inch Baltic Birch ply. Cut with FD UR #3 blades. It will be matted and framed in a solid oak frame. bobscroll and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXScrollsawartist Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Marg! I am a vendor at the Texas Renaissance Festival which is an 8 weekend event. The theme for this weekend is Pirate. There will be hordes of pirate-want-to-be patrons in full costume visiting the festival. I have been a vendor there for 7 years and while I have well over 100 framed pieces of scroll art on my walls, I have lots of regulars who come by to see what is new each weekend. Since this is a Renaissance festival I have Celtic crosses, Celtic designs, fairies, fantasy animals, wolves, and lots of other themes. And I will have four new pirate designs for this weekend. I will probably sell 20 to 25 pieces of framed art this weekend. When I do the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in March all of my art will be Western and animal themed. amazingkevin, bobscroll and wombatie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the right idea ,load up as much as you can .when there's plenty to look at there's always something they can't live with out.You are an inspiration to me .I need to wake up and smell the coffee and get scrollin.Thanks for the info.

Barry5180 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 You did a great job on that pattern Michael. I got the same pattern from Sue. It's a fun cut with just enough challenging parts to keep it interesting. Barry TXScrollsawartist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
