Dan Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I thought it would be fun to have a little contest. It does involve pattern design and is a good way to get your feet wet. Here’s how it works. 1. Visit Steve Good’s blog and download his Moon Silhouette pattern at http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com. Click on Pattern Catalog and search for moon silhouette.. 2. Using the dimensions of the front piece and the moon, create your own silhouette. It can be anything from a snowflake to word art. Since the theme is silhouettes, you won’t need too much detail. Please keep it family friendly. 3. Send your pattern (just the front) to me as a private message by the December 31, 2016 entry deadline. You can send it as a pdf, svg, or jpeg. 4. I’ll then post them to a thread as a poll on January 2, 2017 where you can vote for your favorite. I will not post the designer on the thread. 5. At the end of the poll on January 8, 2017, I’ll release the results and announce the winner. The winner will get a copy of Steve Good’s Wooden Vases On The Scroll Saw books (both versions). I’ll give the winner the details at that time.It’s that simple. I did get permission from Steve Good to allow the use of his pattern for this contest. Steve creates these patterns and gives them away for free. If you feel generous, please consider donating a dollar or two to his site, although it is not required for this contest. Contest starts now. Entry deadline: December 31, 2016 Poll starts: January 2, 2017 Poll closes: January 8, 2017 Winner announced: January 9, 2017 If you have any questions, please PM me. You can also post the question here but it could take a while to read through the posts. Travis supplied this template to help you get started. Moonshot_Blank.svg Happy designing/scrolling!

Fab4 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi Dan: First of all a big thank you to Steve Good and our very own Travis for allowing this to happen It's a great beginner project for those who want to try designing For added inspiration, I won a contest over at Steve's site and I am now the proud holder of his Wooden Vase books. They are cool to make and sell well. So, get going and make/find a silhouette and enter Dan's contest He gave us all plenty of time to do it Thanks Dan for taking care of this I hope you get swamped with designs Fab4 Now, back to your regular scheduled program...

Travis Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Even if you have or don't want the Vases book, enter anyway. You can always donate the book to a fellow scroller if you win. It should be a lot of fun seeing what folks come up with. Fab4 and WayneMahler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Steve will offer a backup prize if the winner has the vases books. Hey, we try hard to accomodate. Fab4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
