First portrait from start to finish

[k9dave]

Hi all,

I thought I would post my latest attempt at a portrait. I know it's not a patch on some of the amazing work that is done by other members on here but I'm feeling quite proud that I have completed this project from start to finish I.e. Taking photograph, editing and cutting. Still haven't made my mind up about framing yet. One more grandchild to do then I have the set!

 

Regards to all

Fantastic. Yes you should be proud you completed the project from beginning to end. Keep up the great work.

Mel you've done a good job there, remember practice and more practice that's all it takes and a good frame sorted, keep up the good work.

It's been a long time coming but I finally got around to finishing the portraits of my grandkids. Decided to use shop bought frames in the end. Thanks for all the advice

Very nice Mel, they came out great. Did you do the patterns yourself?

[heppnerguy]

Thanks guys. Rusty, My first attempt was the one of my granddaughter the pattern was created by a fellow scroller, the other 2 I did from start to finish. As hardwood is difficult to get hold of in the UK (and expensive) I used 1/4 inch MDF which I then veneered with American oak.

I wanted to spray paint the silver surround on the frame black to give them a bit more contrast but my other half didn't agree. And I know what's good for me!!
