Popular Post lew Posted March 26, 2018 Popular Post Posted March 26, 2018 This is from a pattern used for Schensenity, which is a German folk art. The black parts are cut out with special scissors and laid on a black background. Then the image is painted using folk art techniques. I'm going to place it on a black background and my wife will do the painting. Then I think I'll frame it. The technique is similar to scroll sawing, so I figured I would try it. My cutting is on the left and the pattern on the right. Lew jbrowning, 3Dface, new2woodwrk and 8 others 11 Quote
Scrappile Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I'm liking this. Looks like it could be done with a scroll saw if someone desired to. Please show the finished project. Quote
new2woodwrk Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Nice one Lew - can't wait to see the end result Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Lew that is looking good. A lot of things that are not normally used as a scroll saw pattern can be used as one with a little care and modification. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
wombatie Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Thats a great idea Lew. It seems they are ready made scroll saw patterns. Would like to see it when your wife's finished painting it. Marg danny 1 Quote
jerry1939 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Neat idea Lew. Great way to think "outside the box". FYI: Google "marijuana leaf". You might get teased about the bottom 2 leaves on your plant. No, I am not speaking from experience!!!!!!!!!! Years ago we farmed in NE Iowa and hemp plants grew in the wild, just as any other weed. jerry Edited March 26, 2018 by jerry1939 Added photo Quote

spirithorse Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Nice work, Lew, :Maybe if you paint the bottom two leaves bright green you will get more sales! Who knows? Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
GPscroller Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Looks great Lew. Like others have asked, please post the finished project. Thanks. Jeff Quote

The artwork courtesy of my wife who is an accomplished tole painter. The pattern courtesy of Pam Holtz, a folk artist from Pa. Not quite sure if this is the finished product....... Quote
