Portrait finished

[SigP]

I finished the portrait of my wife. I learned a lot, both in creating patterns and scrolling. Critique is welcome.

Hi SigP:

Well done

Just enough detail

What program(s) did you use to create the pattern

From start to finish, how long did it take you to do the pattern (rough guess)

Did you make the frame also?

Keep up the great work

Thanks for showing us

I used Gimp and Inkscape. Probably took about three hours. I'm still learning both programs. I did make the frame. Did that today. It is walnut with maple splines. 

 

For the pattern, I followed Travis' tutorials to learn the programs. Did a 'mix and match' to get the result I wanted.

 

Thanks for the comments.

Good work.

Kevin,

   He could work on your wood portrait for 3 days and I do not believe even he, could make you look like a beautiful woman.. but maybe Roly or Rob Roy would disagree. I will wait and see what they might have to say about it

Very good work, did you manage to capture good facial expression.    

[Ron Johnson]

Excellent work creating the pattern David as well as cutting, finishing and framing of a beautiful portrait.

[SigP]

Thanks for the kind words.   I certainly enjoyed working on it. I think I have found a new passion. Wish I had gotten a scroll saw years ago.

Very nice work on the portrait.Your learning pretty fast for not doing many.They are hard to do,as I have done a few and there are no flaws.When your relatives see this you better tell them to take a number, cause everybody will want one. Bravo
