watosh72 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Hello to all! I have not been on in awhile, so I am checking out everyone's awesome work, and am hoping someone can help me out with a pattern request. The picture is of my late mother. She has been gone a little over three years now, and would really like to surprise my sister with a stencil of her. Wish I had thought of this BEFORE Christmas! I know this picture isn't great, but after going through all our pics, I have decided that my mom did not like a close up shot! I do realize getting a pattern from this might just be impossible, but I had to try. Thank you to anyone who would like to try - it is much appreciated. Quote
Birchbark Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Well watosh72, here is my attempt. The image being less than half an inch wide and going to 8 inches wide, and my limited skills.... well not a good combination. But maybe you can work with this. If you do decide to cut it, i hope you will take the time to post a picture of the finished cutting. It would be much appreciated. Best of luck Russell watosh72 1 Quote

multitom Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Russell, nice to see you here Excellent pattern considering the size of the photo. Here is my attempt, Watosh72 wombatie 1 Quote
watosh72 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Russell, Words cannot express my happiness. The stencil is fantastic, and my sister is going to love it, as do I. While my sister in law is going to create a scroll saw piece with this stencil, and one we had done a couple of years ago on here of my Dad, my sister is also going to get this stencil as a tattoo. She was very close to my mom. Again, I can't thank you enough, and a big thanks to Multitom for his stencil as well. I appreciate you both very much for even trying with a pic that size. You both rock! -Tina Birchbark 1 Quote
watosh72 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Oh, and I will be sure to post pics as soon as they are done Quote
Birchbark Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Wow Tina, I am impressed. Glad you like it. But a tat as well. Thats a first, and i will definately be looking forward to these pictures! Thank you for the nice comments, makes all the work worth it. Russell Quote
