Guess who finished...yep, it's Marilyn

[FrankEV]

Followup on my previous Guess who.

Although I'm not particulary into cutting people portraits, I had found this free illustration pattern .svg of Marilyn on-line and thought I would give it a try.

And , although it was stated to be a scroll saw pattern, it had many "islands" and overlapping shading.  It took me a number of hours to make it cutable. 

The patternsize is 9" x 13" centered on a 5/32" x 12" x 16"  Birch solid core plywood panel and affixed to a 1/8" x 12" x 16" BB ply backer painted black.   The pattern was a relatively quick cut  completed with Pegas #2/0 blade.  The finished panel was protected with multiple coats of clear gloss Lacquer.

The panel is set loose in a simple 1 3/4" wide Poplar custom frame that is stained with Minwax Sedona Red and protected witn clear satin spray Polyurethane.

 

Thanks to all who replied to the previous post and reccognized her immediately just from jsut her eyes.

Very nice. I love cutting portraits, people or animals.

Nice job of cutting and of turning something not intended to be used as a scroll saw pattern into a nice piece!

I have seen that pattern before, somewhere.  You did a great job, well done.
