Popular Post Rolf Posted November 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Didn't know where to post this. I did this Sue Mey designed dragon for SSWWC magazine. I did one with just the Dragon using Baltic birch ply and Alcohol dyes. They then asked If I could do one with a shield. I made that one with natural wood except for the Shield and backer which is 1/2 BB ply stained with Minwax Ebony. When the photographed it they had a sword (not mine). When I got it back I decided to make a sword. It is a combination of turning , carving, shaping and some painting. I am reasonably pleased with the end result for a "down and dirty " project. The blade was some scrap plywood from a crate painted with gold leaf. meflick, frankorona, Scrappile and 14 others 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 This piece done by my friend Andi is what took 1st place. It was an incredibly complex piece to cut and assemble, I did help her with with some technical aspects of the project. It is based on a picture of her daughters and each strip is about 2" wide cut to 45 deg on each edge, then each colored piece was cut out on the scroll saw, painted and re-assembled. Then two strips were glued together to form one pleat. Those pleats were then glued to the backer board. If you look at it from the right it is one color from the left a different set of colors. It is about 4ft long. Absolutely stunning in person. wombatie and RabidAlien 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackman Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Incredibly complex I feel is an understatement. That is very good an unusual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Wow, competition is tremendous where ever it took place. I was wowed by your and then I see the other piece and was also amazed by it. Sure unforces my understanding of why I know I am a mediocre scroller, at best.

wombatie Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Wow that is so cool. A lot of time and effort went into it, I am sure. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted November 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 This is another one of her pieces. She does a lot of mixed media. but it is shaped wood then painted. She has used fabric, glass and pretty much anything that gives her the effect she is looking for. Note the eyelashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
