Popular Post FrankEV Posted November 16, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Sometimes, simple is all it takes. I found the B&W clipart image on-line in an obscure commercial website that allowed free downloads, and I just took a liking to it. I converted it and resized it to a 12" x 18" scrollable pattern by just the addition of a few bridges. I cut the 5/32" thk solid core Maple panel in a little over a hour using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. The backer is 1/4" BB Ply. I added color using my Air Brush and Artist Acrylic Air Brush Paints. After assembly, I finished the cut panel with multiple coats of a Clear Gloss Acrylic protective coating. The frame is a- not my typical - Poplar 3/4" wide rabbeted rail frame with a Black Gloss Lacquer finish. I thought a narrow frame would look good with this image and I think it works.

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Very nice Frank. It reminds me of a pen I am working on with the religious saying Footprints in the Sand. Thanks for showing. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAIrving Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Very nice, very effective @FrankEV. The picture tells a story. And it hits home for me, having spent a good deal of time on the beach. The colors make it and the wood is the perfect color for the sand. Did you do the black highlights on the flip-flops with the airbrush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That poem was very meaningful to my father and the saying is the title he used for his autobiography. JTTHECLOCKMAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That poem was very meaningful to my father and the saying is the title he used for his autobiography. I will do. I have about 20 different pens I am working on right now plus I am casting a bunch of blanks to give away as prizes for our annual pen turning contest on another forum that I belong to. Members enter different skill contests and compete for prizes. It is a fun time and these contests run the whole month of Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do the black highlights on the flip-flops with the airbrush? The flip flop black, weed green, water blue and brown footprints are on the backer. The red and blue is on the cut panel. All applied with the air brush. JTTHECLOCKMAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyG Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Very creative design and the colors pop. Don't know about those footprints though FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
