clarke04 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I just finished my 1st pattern, it has taken me 2 days to finish, I want to make sure it is right before I start cutting it, because it is a gift for my son and his wife. Please offer any suggestions to better it. Travis, just wanted to say thanks, I Just took your classes on gimp, and I must say I did not know what image manipulation software was until I joined the village 3 days ago, You are the man! Look forward to learning much more from everyone in the village, It's nice to have a place for a new scroller to go and learn, again thanks to every one in the village. Harvey Quote
dj21817 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 i just want to say for this being your first attempt,you did an outstanding job.please post a picture when you get it cut.keep up the good work Quote
Messman Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Fantastic attempt for your first pattern. Now this is just a personal opinion, but I would probably get rid of the background. I think the back ground clutters the cutting or another way of saying distracts from the main subject of the pattern. Again that is a personal opinion. Quote
clarke04 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Messman, thank you, I took your advice and got rid of the background, my wife said I should get rid of the flower under her vail as well. So here is the new pattern, I like it, and I think I well start cutting tomorrow, can't wait. Thanks for your opinions. Quote
grampa Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Now you have took away the background it looks a lot better, very well done the only thingI can see is you forgot to put back his right ear but apart from that it looks great.....Paul Quote
clarke04 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 I'm glad you caught that, I have manipulated that photo so much, that I missed that. I'm sure glad you were looking. Quote
Messman Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 I think that does look much better, even with out the missing ear Now I may have left the flower behind the vail but again it is a personal choice, it would have depended on what it looked like in place vs. not there. Again great job on your first pattern, I think if you keep it up and you improve close to the rate I did you will be blowing me out of the water making patterns in no time. Quote
Barry5180 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Harvey, all I've got to say is, "You're a natural." If this was a first attempt after only three days on the site, and the pattern took only two days to make, well my friend, you have a natural eye for pattern making. Awesome job! I can't wait to see what that looks like cut. Please upload the finished cutting when done. Like Chris said, if you keep progressing at that rate, you're going to make the rest of us look bad...LOL Barry Quote
shadylady0447 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Nice work on your first pattern, Harvery! I agree with Chris...it looks much better without the background and your wife was right about the flower. Be sure to post a picture of the final cutting and don't forget to include his ear! Quote
