making the dad by day gamer by night from steve good

[Dragonkort]

im afraid the pictures didnt come out very good.  As you can see i had trouble trying to cut out the words....but at lest i know why now.....you cant cut letters that small out of cheap bb.  so now i am trying to slavage what i can of the project.. im hoping to glue the computer and guy to the wood....and im trying to figure out a way to put a pic of my son in the computer screen and a pic of my grand son in the big square at the bottom where the table top  and legs meet the floor.   now im going to have to paint the backer board but im not sure what color to paint it as im going to paint the dad by day gamer by night on the backer board....now i paint the words in black what color should i paint the backer....it needs to be light enough for the words in black to show up.....or perhaps if i stain the backer board....???  humm any ideas?  and i still have to figure out a way to frame it.....any body got any ideas?  iv decided to not even try to cut out the words in groomer pattern...just paint them on. i'll turn 63 in march and then i will only have 2 more years to wait until i can collect half of what my ex's social secruty.....would be and he worked at GM so it should give me enough money a month to get some pretty good wood.....where as i get ssdi based on mimun wage jobs lol ....oh well guess i'll just have to keep it simple and do easy stuff until then. well i have to get off here now and see what i can find to eat and see if i have enough meds made up for today!!  if not i'll have to make them up and listen to spike yell at me for taking my morning meds after 1 in the afternoon!! lol

Well? I'm looking at this and saying that even my worst photo's I've posted were a little better than these. LOL. I spend the least amount of my time snapping a picture so I'm no good with all it entails. I'd love to remines on an on about your work here but i for the life of me cannot figure out what it is!!!

lol its the steve good pattern dad by day gamer by night from steve good.  I botched it up right away when i was trying to do the words.....BUT i NEVER toss out anything that i MIGHT be able to use...lol and the guy sitting at the computer came out good...so i decided to make something else with it. lol  i have the backer painted black now and i used some dowls to frame it....im going to see if i can find a small enough picture to put in the space under the desk.  I dont think i can find on small enough to put in the computer screen....but we'll see. im making one for my son for xmass....i'lll put a picture of his son in the square box under the table and IF i can find or reduce a picture of him small enough i'll put it in the computer screen.  not sure if i want to try to paint the words on the bottom or not.... i'll talk to spike about it and see what he thinks...the biggest proubem with that is my penmenship is so bad they MADE me take typing in highschool lol i was hoping to finish it today but had to see the heart dr ..... bloody drs take up far to much of my crafting time!!!  and christmas is only a few weeks away.....mumble grumble i can never make as much stuff for christmas as id like lol i'll  try to finish it tomarrow and put up a finished pic.

If it were me I would.

Use a backing

Tape/glue the images to the backing

place the cut outs over the images and cut the backing to fit

As to painting? Depends on the colors on the photos, but I like black for most of these types of projects

lol you mean like this?   i painted the baker black then used dowl peices to frame it. spike still has to help me find a way to hang it since i glued the dowls to it before drilling the holes to run the clear fishing line to.  im trying to find a picture i can photo shop to put in the large square  under the computer....not sure if i can make one small enough to put into the monater.  woundering if it would be to much if i put a small clock in one of the corners.  If my penmenship were better id paint the words from the orginal pattern at the bottom....but they didnt MAKE me take typeing is high school with out a reason lol but humm maybe the picture and a small clock if i can get spike to go to johnsons for me. the other 2 i could just put a clock in and mention that you could put a pic in the bottom square when i finally get enough stuff to start trying to sell on ebay again... what do you guys thinks?
