Exotic Lady / Chinese paper cutting.....Finished Her.......

[Scrolling Steve]

I think the lady came out ok.....thanks to Paul Senko for posting the Chinese paper cutting on the forum some time back !,,,,It took me a while to work up the nerve to tackle the project....She is cut from 1/4 BB, using 3/0 FDNS Spiral blades.....Stained with Minwax Ebony stain. I stil have not settled on a final way to mount it .......The pictures i am posting have Her on a white backer and just propped up in my shop with the sun coming thru the shade behind her.......I think back lit shows more detail...Loved cutting this Lady, found it to be quite the challenge......Thanks for looking and for comments...Steve.     

    PS. Do not know why the pic on the white backer is turned....sorry!

Amazing job! dave

[dgman]

Simply amazing Steve! That is something to be proud of!

Incredible.  I like the second picture more.  Somehow a white backer makes it look like a print rather than an outstanding piece of scrollsaw art which it certainly is.

Hi Steve.

Amazing piece of work.

I love the warm back ground colour in the second picture and that it is not flat against a backer.

That came out excellent. There's a lot of detail there and you did it with a spiral blade to. WOW!

[Scrolling Steve]

Thanks again folks for all the kind words !.......I have been looking at a lot of paper cutting images that lend themselves to the scroll saw !.....A lot of them out there if you are interested !

[wombatie]

That is certainly a WOW piece of art.  You need to change from Zen Scroller to Master Scroller.
