k9dave Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi all, I thought I would post my latest attempt at a portrait. I know it's not a patch on some of the amazing work that is done by other members on here but I'm feeling quite proud that I have completed this project from start to finish I.e. Taking photograph, editing and cutting. Still haven't made my mind up about framing yet. One more grandchild to do then I have the set!

k9dave Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's been a long time coming but I finally got around to finishing the portraits of my grandkids. Decided to use shop bought frames in the end. Thanks for all the advice Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9dave Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks guys. Rusty, My first attempt was the one of my granddaughter the pattern was created by a fellow scroller, the other 2 I did from start to finish. As hardwood is difficult to get hold of in the UK (and expensive) I used 1/4 inch MDF which I then veneered with American oak. I wanted to spray paint the silver surround on the frame black to give them a bit more contrast but my other half didn't agree. And I know what's good for me!!
