Bendita Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Not sure what to put behind it I've tried several colours but I keep coming back to basic black, opinions please Sorry about the reflection on the picture its actually behind the piece not on it, thanks Sully for a great pattern Edited February 1, 2014 by Bendita bobscroll and lawson56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Outstanding!! I love all the detail in it. Congrats to your execution of Sully's pattern. As for the background, black is always a safe bet. If you used a different color I'd stick with a dark blue or purple. Bendita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi Hans You did a fantastic job. Very nice. My first preference would be black, second a dark charcoal and third navy. Sometimes choosing a background will depend on the type of frame the portrait is going into. What ever you choose I'm sure it will look great. Have a great weekend.

sullyscroller Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hans , that is awesome. You did an amazing job on that. As far as the backer when in doubt use black but a dark purple might look nice to. Thank you so much for cutting it and for showing us. May the Lord Bless you. sully Bendita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is truly a tribute to several people.. First to you Hans for the wonderful and dedicated job of cutting such a difficult piece. ( I say black gives the best contrast ) Second to Sully for his excellent pattern making abilities and willingness to freely share hiis talents with all of us. Third To Jesus for making this moment in time that will now live vividly in Hans household for a long time to come Dick heppnerguy sullyscroller, Phantom Scroller and Bendita 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
