  1. Nice work Joe, good clean lines Harvey
  2. I am having the same problem, I am doing portrait work, and am also making my own patterns. I am fairly new at this, but seem to have a nack. I am told that I should be selling my work, as well as asked how much? I don't have a clue, because if you try to factor in all the time it took from start to finish, nobody would pay that much. So I am in the same delimma. Very good question gonefishing, I am interested in the replies as well. Thanks, Harvey
  3. Thank you Travis, that is really good info to know, espically since I use birch alot. Harvey
  4. Thank you all for the sources, I will go see what I can find, and hopefully be able to post a pattern soon. Again thanks
  5. I have really gotten in to this pattern making, but all I have done so far are portraits. I have a picture of a 41 willys which happens to be the best car ever made IMHO I was wanting to make a pattern of it, But I don't know where I got the picture. I know I downloaded it about a year ago, so how can I find out whether or not I can use it? Thanks Harvey
  6. Thank you all for your comments, I really am enjoying this new found hobby (obssesion) , I look forward to looking at all the great work that SSW has to offer, it really inspires me. Dave I used 1/8" Baltic Birch, I love the way it cuts. Harvey

  10. First off, I want to say thanks for all of your kind words, and your suggestions and most of all for noticing the missing ear I must say you guys do wonders for a newbies confidence. Well here is a picture of the cutting, and again thank you all it is great being apart of the village.
  11. I'm glad you caught that, I have manipulated that photo so much, that I missed that. I'm sure glad you were looking.
  12. Messman, thank you, I took your advice and got rid of the background, my wife said I should get rid of the flower under her vail as well. So here is the new pattern, I like it, and I think I well start cutting tomorrow, can't wait. Thanks for your opinions.
  13. I just finished my 1st pattern, it has taken me 2 days to finish, I want to make sure it is right before I start cutting it, because it is a gift for my son and his wife. Please offer any suggestions to better it. Travis, just wanted to say thanks, I Just took your classes on gimp, and I must say I did not know what image manipulation software was until I joined the village 3 days ago, You are the man! Look forward to learning much more from everyone in the village, It's nice to have a place for a new scroller to go and learn, again thanks to every one in the village. Harvey
