Two faces of a clown

[Gonzo]

This pattern was designed by Michael Kelly, and published in the spring/summer 2016 Scrollsaw Woodworking magazine.

Though it was designed for a different reason, I had to make it for two reasons.

1) I am a clown and HAD to make it.

2) With the bad publicity that clowns have had for the past few months, it truly has made quite a few of us clowns tear up. A lot of my clowns friends have lost a gigs because of the morons that posed as I don't know what, but they certainly aren't clowns.

So.... Here It is, Two Faces of a Clown. I hope you all like it.

My apologies for getting on the soapbox.

Nice cut Matt!

I would like to see a picture of your Clown persona.

Beautiful job on the clowns Gonzo.  You did a great job with the cutting.  I recall seeing that pattern in the magazine and thinking it was a great pattern.  Hopefully the other "clowns" will give it up and leave the clowning to those like you and Lawson - doing it for the fun and entertainment rather than trying to scare others. Thanks for sharing your photo.  Like Dan - would love to see your Clown persona if you wish to show us here.

Nicely done Gonzo, I'll have to look into getting a copy of the magazine.

Great work.

Well done, and I got to agree with you that clowns seem to be getting a bad rap. all the sudden.  Hate to see anyone get a bad rap for no reason.  Do think there are a lot of good clowns out there and they all

don't deserve the bad publicity.

Very Nice

Love it

[Casey Jourdan]

Very nicely done. I really love that pattern/picture.

 

Saddens me to hear about the impact of a few bad apples on people with legitimate joy in a niche like clowning. I hope it turns back around.

[Gonzo]

Thank you all very much for the kind words. For both the "Two Faces", and the encouraging words about clowning. I really do appreciate it.

Someday I'll have to figure out how to get my picture under my name.

Gonzo.
